PGA Tour players and caddies will have a chance to receive a paycheck during the coronavirus hiatus, which is still expected to end in the middle of May, the Tour commissioner said.
Players inside and outside of the top 150 of the current FedEx Cup standings will be paid differently.
Caddies can be paid through a distribution of $250,000 from the Valspar Caddie Hat program, and an increase of the balances available for caddies under the caddie benevolent fund.
Monahan said the plan was supported by the PGA Tour’s policy board and player advisory council.
