The weather forecast for this week at The Players Championship looks dire but PGA Tour meteorologist on duty this week at the Players Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass, Wade Stettner, is taking the optimistic approach.
“I think they’ll be able to play some golf every day,” he said. “The rainfall amounts we think we’re going to see don’t look like they would be heavy enough to make the course unplayable, given the fact that the drainage is so good and they’ve got the technology to take moisture out of the greens.”
But what will stop the competition in its tracks after the tournament begins on Thursday is lightning — dangerous to players, fans, volunteers and tournament staff.
