Details are beginning to emerge about how the Memorial Tournament plans to host spectators on-site, the first PGA Tour event to do so since the COVID-19 pandemic halted competition.
This week Ohio governor Mike DeWine approved the tournament's request to allow limited spectators at the July 16-19 event at Muirfield Village. Tournament officials subsequently announced that they plan to release specifics "over the coming week," but some of those plans are already taking shape.
According to a Columbus Dispatch report, the tournament expects to allow up to 8,000 spectators on-site at any given time, which would reportedly equate to 20 percent of the tournament's typical capacity.
