Three Vital Things To Know

1. Ghost Colonials:

The threat of COVID is still around and while resuming the sports, the safety measures should be taken so that no one gets infected. For that, no fans are allowed to enter the Country Club. Another factor is that production and broadcasters are not yet at their full capacity. So issues related to broadcasting may occur. However, the CBS Sports which is a primary broadcaster for PGA Tour has given a statement to bring things back to normal very soon.

2. Increased temperature:

Time is already lost and hence we have entered the hot climatic season. Generally, the PGA Tour isn't hosted in Texas when the climate is really hot. Still, we cannot control everything and hence players need to accommodate themselves in such situations. We will find out this week how the condition affects players, and how players overcome such situations.

3. COVID WDs:

No one is 100% sure about the virus scenario, in case of an emergency, players may have to withdraw back in the middle of the tour. Right now health and safety are measure issues to deal with. No one wants to risk several lives, so all precautions are necessary, and safety measures should be followed strictly.
