The PGA of America has submitted plans to hold the PGA Championship at Harding Park without spectators, and the San Francisco Chronicle reports public health officials have approved it. An announcement was pending approval by San Francisco officials and was expected as early as Tuesday. It at least sets the PGA Championship for August 6-9 at Harding Park, the public course along a golf landscape near the Pacific Ocean that includes Olympic Club, Lake Merced, San Francisco Golf Club and Cal Club. Harding Park will host its first major championship, having previously been host of two World Golf Championships _ one won by Tiger Woods (American Express Championship), the other by Rory McIlroy (Match Play Championship). San Francisco last hosted a major in 2012, when the U.S. Open was held across the street at Olympic.
