Within days of Tyrrell Hatton’s March 8 victory at Orlando’s Bay Hill Club and Lodge, the PGA Tour suspended play amid concerns about the coronavirus pandemic. The Tour’s return is tentatively scheduled for next month.
As a pandemic suddenly gripped the nation, Amy Saunders, the late Palmer’s youngest daughter, immediately recognized a need for the many communities left without tournaments. Behind Saunders’ leadership, the Arnold and Winnie Palmer Foundation sprung into action to lend a hand.
“After the tournament, I think we all collectively acknowledged that we needed to respond to this crisis,” Saunders said this week.
