The PGA Tour Champions released its plan to restart play in late-July at The Ally Challenge in Grand Blanc, Mich., seven weeks after the PGA Tour’s scheduled return to action in June and more than four months since the over-50 circuit held its last event.
The reworked schedule includes a new date for the Bridgestone Senior Players Championship (Aug. 13-16). The Dick’s Sporting Goods Open was originally scheduled for that date but the event has been canceled because of the severity of the coronavirus outbreak in New York.
“We are disappointed to announce the cancellation of one of our premier events on PGA Tour Champions, but this unprecedented climate has forced us to work closely with our tournaments in establishing what is best for their respective markets,” tour president Miller Brady said in a statement.
