With its setback spree, the PGA Tour seems to be hit with hard luck this year. Be it the recent Puerto Rico Open or the Cognizant Classic, almost all its events fell prey to bad weather conditions. The excitement at THE PLAYERS Championship on day one started early as Rory McIlroy and Xander Schauffele both shot 65 in the morning, and gradually Wyndham Clark tied them up in the afternoon. But everything came to a halt as the first round had to be suspended due to darkness.

The golf community has already fastened their seat belts tight in anticipation of how the game turns out in the second round. But that entirely depends on how nature wishes to behave during the said timing. Here’s a look at the report for the second round.

Will the second round of The PLAYERS Championship commence punctually?

The temperature is predicted to go as high as 80 F and the lowest will be 66 F, as per the predictions. The report further added, “Winds S to SE, 10-20 mph. Rainfall: 0.05 inches”. With thunderstorms already in the forecast, there are heavy chances that the second round too is set for a delay, but well, it’s all in the luck, and only time can say when it is to commence.

The PGA Tour 2024 cursed with weather conditions

From the very beginning of 2024, the PGA Tour seems to be pretty much cursed with bad weather conditions. The first setback occurred at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, where the final round got delayed because of inclement weather. The situation got no better and the event ended with only three rounds and saw Wyndham Clark take the winner’s title home, given that he was leading the scoreboard.

The weather troubles followed the men’s circuit to the WM Phoenix Open. The second round of the People’s Open got delayed because the weather was not suitable for play, and the third round had the same fate because of endless frost. However, Nick Taylor won the event! Will the weather gods smile upon the unofficial fifth major or is the PLAYERS Championship too headed towards the same fate?
