PGA Tour officials are meeting today during the first round of the Players Championship amid growing fears the event may be cancelled due to the coronavirus epidemic. The PGA Tour announced late last night that players had been notified to get ready for the first round as usual. But growing concerns over the spreading of COVID-19 means contingency plans have been put in place for fans who no longer wish to attend. The PGA Tour are expected to provide an additional update later today at 4pm GMT. By that time, players such as Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Justin Thomas and Rickie Fowler will be on the course at TPC Sawgrass.
