The WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play remains on schedule despite the recent cancellation of another high-profile event in Austin, Texas.
As the coronavirus continues to spread in the U.S., Austin mayor Steve Adler declared a local state of disaster on Friday, the same day that the South by Southwest conference, scheduled for March 13-22, was canceled for the first time in 34 years. The conference, which attracted 400,000-plus visitors from more than 100 countries last year, brings together multiple industries, including tech, media and sports, and also includes major film and music festivals.
Last year, SXSW pumped $356 million into Austin's economy.
