"THE PLAYERS announces schedule changes due to weather"
/Sounds like quite the rain event on Thursday at TPC Sawgrass.
For Immediate Release:
THE PLAYERS announces schedule changes due to weather
Saturday’s THE PLAYERS 5K with Donna postponed
Course closed to public on Monday; tickets honored Tuesday
Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. (May 3, 2013) – Due to heavy rains that have brought more than 5 inches to THE PLAYERS Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass over the past 36 hours, tournament and PGA TOUR officials have adjusted the event schedule in order to allow the course to drain properly, minimize any damage that would affect the competition and give the course maintenance team as much time as possible to prepare the golf course once the storm conditions subside. Most notably, THE PLAYERS Championship will not be open to fans on Monday, May 6. All Monday ticketholders – whether grounds, Clubhouse, Benefactor, The Turn or any other hospitality venue – can use their Monday tickets for the same access on Tuesday, May 7. PLEASE NOTE: Executive Women’s Day will be held on Monday, as scheduled.
Additional adjustments:
Saturday, May 4
THE PLAYERS 5K with Donna, scheduled to take place on the back nine of THE PLAYERS Stadium Course, has been postponed. The run is now scheduled for Saturday, May 18, at 7:30 a.m. The post-race celebration will be in The Patio. For more information, contact runner relations at info@breastcancermarathon.com or 904-355-PINK.
Golf Digest Hot List Demo Day, scheduled to take place on the driving range at TPC Sawgrass, has been cancelled. Details for a rescheduled event during the Web.com Tour Championship in September will be announced at a later date.
Operation Shower will take place as scheduled, from 2-4 p.m., but will be held in the Sunset Room of the TPC Sawgrass Clubhouse rather than in the Birdies for the Brave® Patriots’ Outpost. Parking will remain in Lot 3.
