“#PGA Tour aces coronavirus return in what was weird week<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n FORT WORTH, Texas \u2014 Well, it worked.<\/p>\n

The PGA Tour pulled it off, conducting its first tournament after a three-month hiatus because of the coronavirus pandemic, and it was done safely and successfully.<\/p>\n

For one week at least, the mission was accomplished.<\/p>\n

It was the first mainstream American professional sporting event that has been staged since the pandemic put a pause to every sport back in March.<\/p>\n

And, other than the lack of 25,000 spectators per day and a few good parties in the corporate tents around the grounds, the Charles Schwab Challenge and Colonial Country Club could not have delivered any better this week.<\/p>\n

Make no mistake: This event was a guinea pig, a test balloon \u2014 not just for golf but for every professional league preparing to restart its season as we all try to move forward in search of whatever the new normalcy will be.<\/p>\n

The success this week began with all 148 players and their caddies testing negative for COVID-19, and it ended with a compelling final-round shootout, with Daniel Berger winning in a playoff and slipping on the signature tartan blazer that comes with victory at Colonial.<\/p>\n

At the end of the day, though, with all kudos going to Berger, the most important end game<\/a> to the week was not who won, but the fact this event safely arrived to the finish line and now the tour may move on with confidence to this week\u2019s RBC Heritage Championship at Hilton Head, S.C.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s gone about as well as we could have hoped for,\u2019\u2019 PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan said Sunday. \u201cThere\u2019s more work to be done. This is about a sustained return. But I think as we sit here late in the day on Sunday, there\u2019s no question that this has been an exceptional week.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Monahan was asked if the overriding emotion from the week is relief or excitement, and he said, \u201cI think it\u2019s a sense of excitement. [But] you can\u2019t have one without the other, I guess, in this environment.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

What kept him up at night leading into this historic restart?<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the biggest concern, given the amount of time that we put into our testing and safety protocols, was that even though we felt really good about the plan we had in place, if we saw the number of tests that were positive or we got into a situation where we were dealing with a number of positive tests, that\u2019s something, candidly, that I lost a lot of sleep over in the weeks that preceded coming in there,\u2019\u2019 Monahan said. \u201cA lot of challenges, but I would say that would probably have been the biggest concern because it\u2019s the one that we\u2019ve all been dealing with, wrestling with, trying to understand and trying to prepare for.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

It was an historic, weird and sometimes moving week.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would say it\u2019s hard to pick a favorite moment because there\u2019s so many along the way,\u2019\u2019 Monahan said. \u201cI think just everybody being back together and being on property on Thursday, recognizing that the PGA Tour was returning, and to see our players back together.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s almost like when you went away for school for the summer and then you come back in the fall, those first couple days, seeing people that you haven\u2019t seen in a while. That was the thing that was, to me, really, really powerful and meaningful. And, then when you add on top of it the 8:46 moment [the vacated tee time moment of silence to recognize the George Floyd tragedy]. Thursday morning was really, really a meaningful moment.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Bubba Watson said he didn\u2019t think the PGA Tour \u201ccan do any better\u2019\u2019 than it did this week.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s exciting to be playing again,\u2019\u2019 runner-up Collin Morikawa said. \u201cThere [were] going to be people that range from all different points of view, whether they\u2019re afraid, whether they\u2019re not afraid, and how do you put everyone together and have a balanced field of you\u2019ve got to do this, you\u2019ve got to do everything.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone went through the testing, everyone did what they needed to do. We still have to follow these guidelines and maintain safety and strict rules with how far we stay from each other because it\u2019s still out there.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, we don\u2019t know how bad it is at any given moment. We don\u2019t know who has it, if they have it, whether they\u2019re symptomatic, asymptomatic. We just have to be cognizant of what\u2019s around us and where we put ourselves because we want the Tour to keep playing. We want to keep playing.\u2019\u2019\n <\/p><\/div>\n
