The 2020 Charles Schwab Challenge will be the first official PGA Tour event to be played following the season’s suspension over the coronavirus pandemic.
The last event was the Arnold Palmer Invitational, from March 5 to March 8. A few days after the final round of that event, two NBA players tested positive for the virus, which sounded alarm bells across the sporting world. Soon after, the PGA Tour put things on hold.
A few PGA Tour golfers have participated in two charity events as states begin to reopen. Rory McIlroy, Dustin Johnson, Rickie Fowler, and Matthew Wolff took part in the TaylorMade Driving Relief at Seminole Golf Club in Juno Beach, Florida.
Meanwhile, Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Tom Brady and Peyton Manning played in Capital One’s The Match: Champions for Charity at Medalist Golf Club in Hobe Sound, Fla.
