Led by world number one Rory McIlroy, the world’s top five players and 101 PGA Tour winners will be at the stately Colonial Country Club outside Forth Worth, Texas. Play starts today in the first tournament since the Players Championship was halted in mid-March by the pandemic. With NASCAR, IndyCar and the UFC already back in action, the PGA Tour will become the latest North American sport to emerge from the COVID-19 shutdown. “The atmosphere will definitely be different,” world number four Justin Thomas told reporters after a practice round on Tuesday. Spain’s world number two Jon Rahm, who was self-isolating in the United States while his family was quarantined in Spain, said he did not pick up a club for seven weeks.
