The 2020 Memorial Tournament to proceed without spectators
July 10, 2020

The 2020 Memorial Tournament which is set to start on July 16, will be held without spectators according to Ryan Young of Yahoo! Sports. The tournament initially was to have 8000 fans per day, however, those plans have now been scrapped because of the rising coronavirus numbers in the state of Ohio.
Then on Thursday, it was announced the World Golf Championship-FedEx St. Jude Invitational in Memphis, TN from July 30 to August 2 would not have spectators either. This is the first significant golf tournament on the PGA schedule since the restart last month.
At this time there are 61,331 cases in Ohio with 16, 214 active cases, and 3,006 deaths. In the state of Tennessee, there are 57, 591 cases with 23, 272 active cases, and 710 deaths. Even though Ohio and Tennessee are doing much better than many other American states which have put the economy over public health, they are taking the necessary precautions.
The LPGA Tour has also announced that the Marathon Classic in Toledo, Ohio, will not have spectators either. That event was scheduled to take place August 6-9, the same weekend as the PGA Championship in San Francisco.
The Marathon Classic is the second of two consecutive LPGA events in Toledo. The first will be the Drive On Championship the weekend of July 31 to August 2.
Just like the LPGA Tour, the PGA Tour is having two consecutive tournaments in the state of Ohio, specifically Muirfield Village in Dublin, outside of Columbus. Before the Memorial Tournament a week from now, the Workday Charity Open is currently taking place. After round one, the leader is Collin Morikawa of Los Angeles, California, who has a score of -7, and a one-stroke lead over Adam Hadwin of Canada.
