“A t least they g ot to enjoy t hem-
selves for one day,” McIlroy said.
“Now it’s going to look a little
different.”
The cancellation brings an
abrupt end to the most ambitious
project ever by the PGA To ur. For
the first time, every shot by every
player in every round was avail-
able through s treaming.
And now t here’s no g olf at a ll, a t
least until the Masters. If the Mas-
ters is held, defending champion
Tiger Woods will not have played
for seven weeks ahead of his title
defense. Woods chose not to be at
the Players Championship, saying
his back was not ready.
Augusta National has a history
of not rushing decisions. Even so,
McIlroy found himself looking
ahead at t he Masters.
“I don’t see how they can let
spectators in if they do play it, at
this point,” he said.
— A ssociated Presswith plans to reschedule later in
the year. The final event was the
LPGA’s first major of the year.
Earlier on Thursday, R ory McIl-
roy said it was a “scary time” and
that the tour made a step in the
right direction by eliminating
fans. But he s aid it would take o nly
one player or caddie to test posi-
tive for the v irus.
“We need to shut it down then,”
said McIlroy, who later said he
would get tested next week. “I
think for us to keep playing on
tour, we all — the tour players and
people that a re i nvolved — need to
get tested.”
So the last golf w ith fans turned
out to be a calm Thursday on a
dynamic Stadium Course on the
TPC Sawgrass, where Hideki Mat-
suyama tied the course record
with a 63. McIlroy and Brooks
Koepka each had three birdies in
the final hour to salvage their
rough starts w ith 70s.some concern not all could travel
to Te xas for the World Golf Cham-
pionships event.
The next scheduled event
would be the Masters, set for April
9-12.
Augusta National’s only com-
ment regarding the coronavirus
was March 4, when the club said it
was in contact with government
and health officials and at that
point all its events remained on
the c alendar.
Monahan initially decided to
continue with PGA To ur events
even as most sports were either
suspending play or canceling en-
tire tournaments, including the
lucrative NCAA basketball tour-
naments for men a nd w omen. Ma-
jor league baseball postponed the
start of its season.
In golf, the LPGA To ur post-
poned its next three tournaments
— two with t itle sponsors based in
South Korea, another in Japan —course.
“We did everything possible to
create a safe environment for our
players in order to continue the
event throughout the weekend,”
the tour said in a statement. “But
at t his point — and as the s ituation
continues to rapidly change — the
right thing to do for our players
and o ur fans i s to pause.”
Monahan scheduled a new c on-
ference f or Friday morning for a d-
ditional details.
The Players Championship is
the f lagship e vent o f the PGA Tour
that offers a $15 million purse, the
richest in golf. There was no im-
mediate word w hether it would be
rescheduled.
Also shut down were the Val-
spar Championship next week in
the Tampa Bay area, the Match
Play in Austin and the Texas Open
in San Antonio. The Match Play is
for the top 64 players available in
the world ranking, and there wasBY DOUG FERGUSONPONTE VEDRA BEACH, FlA. — T he
Players Championship went from
having no fans to having no play-
ers.
In a surprise announcement
Thursday night, the PGA To ur can-
celed the rest of the Players Cham-
pionship and decided to shut
down its other tournaments for
the n ext three weeks.
Only 10 hours earlier, as the
opening round was u nderway and
fans continued t o stream i nto TPC
Sawgrass, Commissioner Jay Mo-
nahan announced no fans would
be allowed at tour events for the
next month because of the fears
over the new coronavirus out-
break.
It w as a bold decision i n light of
other leagues either suspending
play or canceling entire tourna-
ments.

AND KYLE MELNICKThe Virginia state athletic as-
sociation canceled Friday and
Saturday’s high school basketball
championships amid growing
concerns about the worldwide
coronavirus outbreak, while the
Maryland basketball semifinals
and finals were postponed until
further notice.
On Wednesday night, Mary-
land’s state athletic association
moved to hold this weekend’s
games without fans, following
statements from the NCAA and
others. Virginia made the same
announcement Thursday morn-
ing for Friday and Saturday’s
games, which included teams
from classes 3 through 6.
Thursday’s Class 2 finals pro-
ceeded as scheduled, while Class
1 was canceled Thursday after-
noon.
“While we understand how
disappointing this is for all fans
of our teams, we feel this decision
is in the best interest of public
health, including that of, most
importantly, our student-ath-
letes, coaches, administrators,
families, and fans,” John Haun,
the Virginia High School
League’s executive director, said
in a statement on the decision to
cancel.
Madison and Edison were set
to play in the Virginia Class 6
girls’ final at 11 a.m. Saturday at
Siegel Center in Richmond.
South County and Centreville
were in the boys’ final. The VHSL
has crowned those four schools
co-champions.
“I completely understand the
need to keep everybody safe,”
Centreville Coach Kevin Harris
said by phone Thursday. “But at
the same time, as a coach and a
competitor, your kids have
worked since they were in ele-
mentary school to compete at the
highest level and make it to the
state championship game. For
the seniors who won’t have that
chance to walk off after their last
game, I feel for them.”
Harris said he would have a
chance to talk to his players after
school Thursday, and given the
surreal nature of the day, he
didn’t know what he would say.
South County Coach Mike Robin-
son, who teaches in the building,
said his players had been trick-
ling into his room throughout the
day to converse about the news.
“Our goal from the start of the
season was to get to VCU and
play for the state championship,”
Robinson said. “It is what it is. I
understand. I’m not mad. The
most important thing is the
health of everyone.”
In Maryland, Northeast and
Howard were ready to send their
teams off to their 3 p.m. semifinal
games Thursday afternoon.
Northeast’s community and stu-
dents stood outside the front
door, waiting for the boys to
jump on their bus to the Univer-
sity of Maryland’s Xfinity Center.
Howard’s students were also go-
ing to line up as the girls depart-
ed for To wson University’s SECU
Arena.
Then, as both teams were
about to depart, the coaches
learned from their principals and
athletic directors that the Mary-
land Public Secondary Schools
Athletic Association had post-
poned their games.
“We had to go from a really
happy send-off to tell them the
unfortunate news,” Howard
Coach Scott Robinson said. “The
girls were understandably very
upset.”
Northeast Coach Roger O’Dea
had been anticipating this day
since he took over his alma
mater’s team a decade ago when
it was one of Anne Arundel
County’s worst. O’Dea visited
Xfinity Center with his players
two years ago to motivate them to
earn a chance to play in the
17,950-seat arena. The only other
year the Eagles reached the state
semifinals was in 1983.
For Northeast’s star seniors,
the state semifinals represented
a final chance to receive looks
from college scouts. They hope it
will still be played.
“I’m telling them right now
this is bigger than basketball,”
O’Dea said. “It might be for our
best health, our best safety inter-
ests. I feel bad for all my kids, but
I really am heartbroken for [my
seniors] right now.”
