Will fans attend the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines in person? [The San Diego Union-Tribune]
Officials who run the prestigious U.S. Open golf tournament are working with five different scenarios related to crowds and COVID-19, while planning for the event’s return to San Diego’sTorrey Pines Golf Course in June.
Depending on the effectiveness of vaccines and the number of COVID-19 cases this spring, the tournament could range from having no in-person fans to having the roughly 40,000 people who attend each day, like when Torrey hosted the event in 2008.
“With COVID throwing us a curveball, we’ve really had to change our planning,” said Danny Sink of the United States Golf Association. “There will be a point in time next year when we have to make some tough decisions, and we’ll work with our partners at the city and the county health officials to determine what’s a safe way to have the championship.”

Officials who run the prestigious U.S. Open golf tournament are working with five different scenarios related to crowds and COVID-19, while planning for the event’s return to San Diego’s Torrey Pines Golf Course in June.

At 23, Brooke Henderson is already a veteran of the U.S. Women’s Open. This week, she’s playing her eighth championship. But the previous seven have been nothing like this.
From the December date to the driving range that has a chain-link fence 60 yards off the tee, everything is a bit off-kilter at this year’s event being played at Houston’s Champions Golf Club.
“It’s definitely very different,” said Henderson. “I feel the biggest one is trying to learn the two courses, and understanding them the best we can going into [Thursday] and Friday.”
It’s rare that any tournament uses two courses, let alone a major, but due to the limited daylight hours, that was the only option for the United States Golf Association. It’s meant a cram session for players and caddies as they try to grasp the nuances of the Jackrabbit and Cyprus Creek courses. The golfers will play one round on each course before moving to Cyprus Creek for the final two over the weekend.
