The remainder of the PGA Tour schedule this season will be played without spectators after the organizers of four tournaments announced on Monday that they would close their events to the public.

“Our No. 1 priority remains the health and safety of everyone in the communities where we are invited,” Andy Pazder, the PGA Tour’s chief of tournaments, said in a statement, attributing the decision to the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.

The organizers for the Wyndham Championship and the three tournaments that make up the FedEx Cup playoffs each released a separate statement on Monday announcing the decision.
