[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…The U.S. Professional Golfers' Association (PGA) Tour is preparing to resume the season.

A golf course in Texas, USA, is hosting a charity golf tournament featuring PGA Tour players. Starting on the night of the 28th (Korean time) at the Carleton Marydo Golf Course, a 54-hole event will take place over three days with a total of 72 participants, including players and celebrities. 'Super rookie' Viktor Hovland (Norway), 2019 PGA Korn Ferry Tour Player of the Year Scottie Scheffler, and Bermuda Championship runner-up Harry Higgs (all from the USA) have declared their participation.

Joining them are sports stars such as legendary NFL quarterback Tony Romo and former NBA guard Darrun Williams (both from the USA). It is also interesting that Jordan Spieth, a former world No. 1 and a member of Marydo Golf Course, will join. It has not yet been decided whether he will participate as a player or appear as an unofficial marker. The PGA Tour has been shut down until mid-June due to the spread of COVID-19.

The Charles Schwab Challenge, opening on June 11 at the Colonial Golf Course in Fort Worth, Texas, awaits. This charity golf tournament is a stage to raise funds to overcome COVID-19, but it is expected to serve as a preliminary event signaling the full resumption of the tour for golf fans eager to watch the players compete. The entry fee is $250, and the winner's prize is $27,000. The donations will be used to support the golf course's full-time caddies.
