WASHINGTON, May 31 (Xinhua) -- The John Deere Classic golf tournament has been canceled due to continuing COVID-19 restrictions, local media reported on Sunday.
The PGA Tour rescheduled the tournament to July 9-12, but it will be impossible to hold the long-time tournament due to continuing COVID-19 restrictions around events and public gatherings in the surrounding area in Illinois, United States by then.
The John Deere Classic was originally scheduled to be the first possible event to have spectators. The first four PGA events, starting with the Charles Schwab Challenge on June 11, will be played with no spectators with events beyond that to be determined. Enditem
