LOS ANGELES - PGA of America chief executive Seth Waugh said on Tuesday that organisers are considering multiple scenarios for the US PGA Championship now scheduled for Aug 6-9 in San Francisco.

A second option would be to hold the first major championship of the year there but without spectators and a potential third option would be to move it to another location should play in California prove impossible. Under the revamped plans agreed by golf's governing bodies, the US PGA Championship in August would be followed by the US Open in September and the Masters at Augusta National in November. The British Open has been cancelled.

"If the safest way, and/or the only way to do it is without fans, we're fully prepared to do that. We believe that having it as a television event is worth doing regardless of whether there's fans there or not.
