'Everyone on tour needs to get tested,' says Rory McIlroy as PGA Players Championship is cancelled
While you were sleeping, the Players Championship and the rest of the PGA Tour schedule up to the Masters Tournament got cancelled as a result of the global coronavirus pandemic.
At 10pm last night, hours after the conclusion of the first-round play, the PGA Tour announced the cancellation of the final three rounds of its $15 million flagship event as well as the ensuing Valspar Championship, WGC Dell Match Play Championship and Valero Texas Open. The next potential event on the golf calendar is the Masters currently scheduled for April 9-12.
