The first round of the 2020 Players Championship marked the last time (to date) that fans were allowed in attendance in full force at a PGA Tour event.
PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan announced after that first round that the Tour’s flagship event on the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass was canceled and the season put on hold out of concerns about the coronavirus.
Monahan later called the decision to cancel the 2020 players “gut-wrenching,” but pointed out that it was insignificant with what has happened since the pandemic broke out.
The field for the tournament had been predictably deep, which is fitting for a tournament staged at such an iconic venue. TPC Sawgrass features one of the most famous and daunting shots in professional golf.
