PGA chief executive Seth Waugh has said his organisation is studying the feasibility of staging this year's Ryder Cup without fans in light of the coronavirus pandemic.
Waugh told New York's WFAN radio that while a Ryder Cup without spectators was"hard to imagine," PGA officials were looking to see if the event could be held with"virtual fans."
Raucous, partisan crowds are integral to the febrile spectacle of Ryder Cup competition, but COVID-19 could ensure that this year's competition takes place before empty galleries. "It's to be determined, frankly, whether you could hold it without fans or not... the fans are the Ryder Cup, to a certain degree."
