Will be interesting seeing some of the finishing positions of some tee shots over the next three days when there are no human backstops...

Press announcement from the PGA. The Players and all subsequent events through to the Valero Texas open are cancelled.

Apparently a spectator got thrown out of the Players for asking Patrick Reed to autograph a shovel.

I see that's the PGA now cancelled for May.
First two Major's of the season sacked. This isn't looking good at all.

I don't have a link to hand, but the pga event in Texas is being streamed through a number of official twitter channels (different commentators on each) for a couple of hours at the start of play tomorrow and friday. I think it's concentrating on the featured groups.
I'm pretty curious to see how it all pans out. Hopefully, it'll be good.

I'm watching the golf and caddies are raking bunkers and holding flags as normal. I'm surprised they do not have dedicated people on each hole to do those things. Is Texas a state that is just getting on with things?

Just watched 10minutes - are the players and caddies supposed to be social distancing?
I don't think the caddy player partnerships are. Whether they are meant to distance between each pairing I don't know. Hard to judge distances on TV, particularly if they are working to 1m, not 2m.
If I was a caddy at that level, with the money up for grabs, I'd happily move in to my players villa for 2 weeks prior to the tour starting up again ?

supposed to be 6ft between players, assume player/caddy is exempt

Not sure how it is supposed to work but I agree you'd have thought to minimise any risk they'd have people in gloves or some form of protection to sort all of that out

My player would be right as well. Have you seen the set ups the guys in America have? The pool house would do me fine ?your player says the pool house is plenty for you
If they have one person per green for the flags, one for each set of bunkers on a hole then there is no need for gloves. Only one person is holding the flag or rake all day.
Volunteers from clubs for the flags, local greenkeepers for the bunkers. Wouldn't be hard.

They'd all have to be tested and live under controlled conditions. And many volunteers are old and not especially healthy.
Probably best to leave it to the players and caddies who are tested regularly and more at risk of a stray asteroid...
