Now it comes down to the Masters to determine if any of golf’s majors will have fans this year.
A week before the PGA Championship begins without spectators, the U.S. Open announced Wednesday it would not have fans Sept. 17-20 at Winged Foot in New York because of health and safety concerns from the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We will miss the excitement of the fans and what their presence brings to the championship,” said Mike Davis, CEO of the USGA.
This already was shaping up to be a different U.S. Open.
It has been scheduled to end on Father’s Day every year since 1975, and that was disrupted by the pandemic.
