In partnership with the PGA Tour and SendToNews, Villages-News.com had obtained the rights to stream the 2020 Players Championship. Unfortunately, the tournament was suspended on Thursday evening on account of concerns over COVID-19. The following is the official statement issued by the PGA Tour on Thursday evening:
It is with regret that we are announcing the cancellation of THE PLAYERS Championship.
We have also decided to cancel all PGA TOUR events – across all of our Tours – in the coming weeks, through the Valero Texas Open.Â
We have pledged from the start to be responsible, thoughtful and transparent with our decision process. We did everything possible to create a safe environment for our players in order to continue the event throughout the weekend, and we were endeavoring to give our fans a much-needed respite from the current climate. But at this point – and as the situation continues to rapidly change – the right thing to do for our players and our fans is to pause.
We will be prepared to answer additional questions on Friday at 8 a.m.
