PGA CHAMPIONSHIP WILL ALLOW 10,000 FANS EVERY DAY

The 2021 PGA Championship in May will be played before about 10,000 spectators at Kiawah Island, S.C. The PGA of America said Tuesday the decision to admit some fans for each round of the May 20-23 event was made in conjunction with the state, health officials and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “We’re excited to welcome spectators back to the PGA Championship this May in a way that is responsible and aligned with current South Carolina health protocols,” PGA of America President Jim Richerson said. “While we wish we could accommodate the sellout crowds who had purchased tickets, the 2021 PGA Championship will be steeped in gratitude as the best players in the world compete on the historic Ocean Course at Kiawah Island Golf Resort.” Collin Morikawa, pictured, will defend his 2020 title.
