Dangerous weather conditions from remnants of Hurricane Debby have forced tournament organizers at the 2024 Wyndham Championship to bar fans from entering the property to watch the first round of the tournament Thursday at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina.
The announcement, came Wednesday evening, clarified that the first round will start on time at 6:50 a.m. ET and that “play will continue as long as conditions allow.”
For those fans with tickets for Thursday, they can return any other day this week and use their ticket to get in.
“This decision was a difficult one for us to make with our partners at the PGA Tour, but everyone’s safety is our top priority,” Tournament Director Bobby Powell said. “The most recent forecast looks like the storm could clear our area sometime Friday.”
The news release from tournament officials indicated that the “situation is evolving rapidly. Additional information will be provided when it is available.”
The Wyndham Championship is the final regular-season event on the PGA Tour’s 2024 schedule.
