The U.S. Open has made no decisions about the number of spectators that will be allowed at Torrey Pines in June, but there will be far fewer volunteers, according to an email sent to registered marshals and volunteers that was obtained by ESPN.
The U.S. Open is scheduled for June 17-20.
"After careful monitoring of the global COVID-19 pandemic and the guidance of local health and government officials, the USGA has decided to contest the 2021 U.S. Open Championship with minimal volunteers on-site at Torrey Pines Golf Course,'' the organization wrote in an email Monday. "The decision to eliminate the majority of the volunteer positions did not come lightly, but we feel it gives us the best opportunity to conduct the championship this year while ensuring the health and safety of all involved.
