Report: U.S. Women's Open To Be Played With No Fans

The USGA is insisting they haven’t closed the door on fans at Olympic Club this June, but the San Francisco Chronicle’s Ron Kroichick reports otherwise.

State and local public health officials, in coordination with the United States Golf Association and LPGA, made the decision mostly because of the challenges in controlling social distancing at golf events, according to two sources close to the situation.

Only a limited number of Olympic Club members are expected to be permitted on site during the event.

This is noteworthy for the reason (distancing) and since the men’s U.S. Open is played two weeks later in California this year. I’m surprised also surprised they could not find some accommodation for a small crowd given the recent pace of vaccinations.

The U.S. Women’s Open website currently offers a chance to sign up for ticket information and updates.
