[Golf Topic] "Gallery Allowed?" Bermuda Championship at the End of October

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyun-jun, Golf Specialist] ○…The PGA Tour is allowing gallery attendance….

The Bermuda Championship organizing committee announced on the 30th (Korean time) that "a limited number of spectators will be admitted to this tournament." The event will open on the night of the 29th of next month at Port Royal Golf Course in Southampton, Bermuda. Tickets have already gone on sale through the official website. The daily admission number is yet to be decided and will be determined according to local gathering restrictions and guidelines. Temperature checks will be conducted upon entry, masks are mandatory, and a 6-foot (1.8m) distance must be maintained.

Although outside the United States, it is significant as the first time spectators will watch a game since the outbreak of COVID-19. The PGA Tour was suspended after the first round of The Players Championship, known as the 'fifth major,' in March due to the spread of COVID-19, and resumed in June starting with the Charles Schwab Challenge, holding events without spectators. The Bermuda Championship marks the return of galleries after a long 7-month hiatus. The Bermuda government has reported a total of 181 confirmed COVID-19 cases so far.
