The PGA TOUR released an expansive 37-page document in which it detailed guidelines for the PGA TOUR’s return to action. Titled, “Return to golf events,” the document is a “Health, Safety, Player/Caddie & Competition Update” focused on the TOUR’s resumption, which is scheduled for the Charles Schwab Challenge on June 11-14 at Colonial in Fort Worth, Texas.
