“#US Open will be shell of itself without New York fans<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n This is the week when golf will feel it most.<\/p>\n

The eerie quiet that comes with no spectators.<\/p>\n

The unsettling sound of silence around tee boxes and greens while the world\u2019s best players are doing the otherworldly things they do with the golf ball.<\/p>\n

Since the PGA Tour\u2019s restart in June after a pandemic pause of some three months, we\u2019ve gotten somewhat accustomed to having no fans at golf tournaments and other sporting events. It\u2019s become an unsatisfying, but necessary, element of the world we live in.<\/p>\n

But it will hit home more than ever in golf at this week\u2019s U.S. Open \u2014 more than it has the previous 14 weeks the PGA Tour has played without fans. Because this is New York and we\u2019re more vocal and vibrant in New York than other places where sports are played.<\/p>\n

New York expresses itself in a different, more animated and opinionated way than Wisconsin or Michigan or Pennsylvania or even California.<\/p>\n

Winged Foot, under non-COVID-19 circumstances, would be buzzing this week with some 45,000 spectators a day roaming the grounds and voicing their app<\/a>roval and disapproval.<\/p>\n

Instead, when Tiger Woods is introduced at 8:07 Thursday morning on the first tee as the 2000, 2002 and 2008 U.S. Open champion and all you hear is the sound of the morning crickets, it\u2019ll be more jarring than ever.<\/p>\n

Wherever Phil Mickelson goes, adulation follows. In New York, it\u2019s more pronounced and magnified. Despite the fact that he\u2019s from San Diego, we in New York treat him as if he\u2019s one of our own, a homegrown public-golf kid who used to sleep overnight in the Bethpage parking lot to score a weekend tee time on the Black Course.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe way the people treat me here is second to none, so I\u2019m going to dearly miss having people out here this week,\u2019\u2019 Mickelson said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI miss the energy and just the positiveness that the fans bring and just that electricity,\u2019\u2019 Woods said. \u201cThat\u2019s something that I\u2019ve been playing in front of for over two decades. I\u2019ve been lucky enough to be a part of that.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis area has some of the best golf courses on the planet, but also what makes coming up here and being a part of these events are the fans and the energy that this entire area brings. They love sports. It\u2019s a shame that we\u2019re not going to have that atmosphere out here this particular week.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Justin Thomas, ranked No. 3 in the world, said last month\u2019s PGA Championship at Harding Park \u201cdidn\u2019t feel anything remotely close to a major\u2019\u2019 without spectators.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a shame because Harding and here are just two terrific major championship venues, especially here in New York with the very passionate fans that they have here,\u2019\u2019 Thomas said. \u201cTo not be able to experience that takes away a lot of a championship, let alone a U.S. Open. Especially coming down the last nine and on Sunday, it\u2019s going to have a big impact. I know I miss them and I wish they could have been out here.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Some players, including defending U.S. Open champion Gary Woodland, have struggled with the flat atmosphere at tournaments.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithout fans the last couple months it\u2019s been sometimes tough to get energy and get things moving,\u2019\u2019 Woodland said. \u201cI\u2019ve kind of struggled with the last couple months. But this week, I\u2019m excited that being defending champ I have some emotion, I have some energy, and hopefully I can ride that.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Rory McIlroy has been transparent throughout the return to golf in saying he\u2019s had difficulty maintaining his focus in the events without spectators, allowing his mind to wander during tournaments. His results since the restart have reflected that with only one top-10 finish in the nine events he\u2019s played.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m used to it now,\u2019\u2019 McIlroy said. \u201cIt took me a while to adjust to not having fans. But it\u2019s sort of become the norm nowadays. Look, it\u2019s different. I wish we were playing in front of fans, especially here in New York. It\u2019s a different reception than you receive most other places in the country.\u2019\u2019\n <\/p><\/div>\n
