NO CROWD? Heavy Storm Causes Delay to Northern Trust

Tiger Woods is no stranger to massive crowds following his every shot. That won’t be the case Thursday August 8th when he tees off for his opening round for The Northern Trust at Liberty National. Due to heavy storms Wednesday afternoon Liberty National has taken on some damage to the grandstands, hospitality areas and the course.

Officials have made the decision to not allow spectators to enter the event until 10 a.m. ET. This is the first leg of the FedEx playoffs and Tiger is scheduled to tee off at 7:43 local time. Due to the decisions made by course officials he probably won’t see a single spectator until he starts his back nine.Embed from Getty Images
The PGA tour has reported no injuries despite the heavy rains and wind gusts up to the 60 MPH.  There’s a small chance of rain heading into the weekend but with temperatures expected to stay around 80 degrees, it should be a good weekend for golf and the first round of the playoffs.

Maybe no spectators will have Tiger like …
