The PGA Tour has decided to scrap the rest of The Players Championship and shut down its other tournaments for the next three weeks.
Commissioner Jay Monahan had said earlier Thursday there would be no fans at the TPC Sawgrass for the final three rounds, or at the next three tournaments on the PGA Tour schedule.
The tour changed its mind late Thursday.
There was no immediately word whether The Players Championship would be rescheduled.
Hideki Matsuyama was the first-round leader after firing a 6-under 63. He was two shots ahead of Harris English, Si Woo Kim and Christiaan Bezuidenhout.
