It was supposed to be the beginning of a couple busy weeks of professional golf in our area.
However, The Savannah Golf Championship, The Masters and the RBC Heritage all postponed or cancelled due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
First to the tee was the Korn Ferry Tour here in Savannah.
This week was supposed to be tournament week at The Landings. Today, only a handful of amateurs hitting the links at the Deer Creek Course.
The third annual Savannah Golf Championship listed as postponed, but the tournament staff still excited about the future of the event.
"There has been such an outpouring of love and support for our tournament and our team, " says Tournament Director Cheyenne Overby.
While it's a little strange not having the professionals battling for the Seersucker jacket this week, tournament organizers know when it comes time to tee-it-up, the event will be bigger and better than ever.
"So many people were disappointed that the tournament was postponed, but the amazing partners, volunteers and fans really make it easy to keep spirits up," adds Overby.
Right now, all tours under the PGA Tour umbrella have cancelled or postponed their events through May 17.
