The PGA Championship, one of golf’s four majors, has been rescheduled for August 6-9 after being postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic, the San Francisco Chronicle reported on Sunday.
The event will remain at the city’s Harding Park course, the paper said.
The championship is run by the PGA of America, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The PGA Championship was originally planned for May 14-17 but the PGA of America announced on March 17 that the event had been postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak.




The spread of the virus has prompted the shutdown of almost all sport worldwide.
The first major championship of the year, the Masters, was scheduled to start this Thursday at Augusta National, but the club announced on March 13 that it had been postponed.
