With sports suspended across the country, at least one is planning to return this summer.
The PGA Tour announced Thursday morning it will start playing tournaments again in June without spectators.
The no-fan policy will apply to the first four events, starting with the Charles Schwab Challenge in Fort Worth, Texas. The tournament was pushed back from May 18 to June 8.

“The health and safety of all associated with the PGA TOUR and our global community continues to be our No. 1 priority, and our hope is to play a role – responsibly – in the world’s return to enjoying the things we love,” said PGA TOUR Commissioner Jay Monahan. “Today’s announcement is another positive step for our fans and players as we look toward the future, but as we’ve stressed on several occasions, we will resume competition only when – working closely with our tournaments, partners and communities – it is considered safe to do so under the guidance of the leading public health authorities.”
The PGA Tour does include the annual FedExCup Playoffs stop in Atlanta. The Tour Championship will be held Aug. 31-Sept. 7 at East Lake Golf Club.
