These efforts were made “in an effort to be fair to the players and our ticketholders,” according to Tournament Director Jim Curley.
“This is the result of a collaborative effort with the players, CBS Sports and tournament officials to address the issues that arose from the inclement weather earlier this week,” Curley added.
