The PGA Tour might look quite different when it’s scheduled to return in June.
The Tour is scheduled to resume at the Charles Schwab Challenge on June 11-14 at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas, which will be the first of four straight (at a minimum) events held without fans. The Tour recently told GOLF.com it’s exploring social distancing guidelines for its return, and some of the proposed tweaks call for the possibility of no rakes in sand traps, golfers pulling their own clubs (to limit contact with caddies) and players forced to putt with the flagstick in.
One pro, 32-year-old Adam Hadwin, says that last one could be a deal-breaker.
Interviewed on TSN In Depth with Rick Westhead and Bob Weeks, the Canadian said he’s hopeful for the Tour’s return but added there are a lot of questions still lingering — like putting with the flagstick in.
