The US PGA Tour has changed course and called off The Players Championship after just one round, the first in a string of several weeks of cancelations because of the new coronavirus pandemic.

"It is with regret that we are announcing the cancelation of The Players Championship," a Tour spokesman said in a statement on Thursday night, adding to a list of major US sporting events on hold because of the global outbreak.

The players were reportedly told via text that the event was being scrubbed due to a "rapidly changing situation."
