The 2020 Dick’s Sporting Goods Open golf tournament set for August in Endicott has been canceled because of concerns stemming from the coronavirus pandemic, event organizers announced Wednesday.
“These are incredibly difficult times for everyone as we look across the sports and societal landscapes, but the health and safety of our fans, volunteers, players and sponsors is and always will be our No. 1 priority,” said DICK’S Sporting Goods Open Tournament Director John Karedes. “With deadlines approaching tied into the logistics of running a professional golf tournament, it became readily apparent that conducting the 2020 event would not be a possibility. Our focus now will be on how we use this moment in time to inspire our fans and community while preparing for the tournament to return in the summer of 2021.”
The PGA Tour Champions golf tournament was scheduled to be held Aug. 10-16 at En-Joie Golf Club in Broome County.
