PGA Tour and Greenbrier Resort officials announced Saturday that The Greenbrier Classic, scheduled for July 7-10, has been canceled because of the devastating flooding caused by record rainfalls throughout West Virginia.
Greenbrier County, where The Greenbrier Resort is located, has been particularly hard-hit by torrential rains. The Old White TPC, host course for the tournament, suffered extensive damage from the flooding and is beyond reasonable repair to conduct the tournament, Tour officials said.
“We are heartbroken by the devastation that the residents of West Virginia are experiencing at this time and the reports of lives lost due to the terrible flooding,” PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem said in a statement.
