“After a lot of deliberation, our team made the difficult but necessary decision to host the Volvo Car Open 2021 without fans,” said Bob Moran, tournament director in a statement. “We postponed this decision as much as we could, in the hope that the end result could be different. But in order to successfully run a fan experience that complies with all the guidelines and requirements provided by the local government and health officials, we would need to start building our event facilities this week. Unfortunately, with the high numbers of positivity going on and the potential for unknown travel restrictions to the US, we concluded that creating a tournament made for TV is the best possible outcome for the 2021 Volvo Car Open ”.
