Although the PGA Tour seemed to escape the brunt of Hurricane Matthew, officials on Hilton Head Island, S.C., were still assessing the damage caused by last week’s storm.
“It’s unbelievable. There are trees everywhere,” said Steve Wilmot, the RBC Heritage tournament director. “I haven’t had a chance to see the course [Harbour Town Golf Links], so we won’t know the extent of the damage for a few days.”
Hilton Head Island had been closed because of the storm until Monday afternoon and there have been reports of fallen trees at Harbour Town, the site of the annual Tour stop.
