While most sports talk in Florida has been focused on recent football acquisitions the first sport to restart in the state will be golf. Len Brown, the Executive Vice President for the Professional Golf Association, says they plan to resume play on June 8, but with major changes.
“Before they leave their home we want to try get them tested and test results. Once they arrive to the site we’re going to test them again and then the plan is to test them during the week as well," Brown said. "We’re trying to make their environment a safe zone."
Brown says the plan depends on the availability of testing. The state’s professional hockey team, the Florida Panthers, plan on beginning the season in July and limiting the number of locations where games are played. The team will sell a limited amount of tickets so social distancing guidelines can be maintained."
