PGA Tour Chief Tournaments and Competitions Officer Andy Pazder has confirmed that the 2020 RSM Classic will be played without spectators due to the coronavirus pandemic. 
 
“As we have said from the start, our No. 1 priority remains the health and safety of everyone in the communities where we are invited guests each week,” said Pazder.
 
“We appreciate the cooperation of the Davis Love Foundation team, RSM, Sea Island Golf Club, and – of course – the fans of southeast Georgia for understanding why collectively we had to make this decision.
