GREENSBORO, N.C. (WGHP) — Fans will not be present during the first round of the Wyndham Championship on Thursday due to the forecast for dangerous weather conditions developing from the remnants of Hurricane Debby.
Fans will not be permitted on the Sedgefield Country Club grounds on Thursday, according to a statement released on Wednesday by Wyndham Championship media representative.
Current plans are for the Wyndham Championship to begin as scheduled at 6:50 a.m. Thursday without fans in attendance.
Play will continue as long as conditions allow. Thursday grounds tickets can be used for any one day through the completion of the tournament.
“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.”
