The Honda Classic organizing committee is reorganizing seating at the Bear Trap (holes 15-17), known for its difficulty at PGA National Golf Club, applying social distancing measures. Spectators entering the course are required to wear face coverings such as masks. The PGA Tour was suspended for three months after the first round of The Players in March last year due to the worsening COVID-19 situation, then resumed in June with no spectators, and allowed spectators for the first time at the Bermuda Championship in October last year.
