The PGA Tour has scrapped its contract to hold annual golf tournaments at a resort owned by billionaire West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice after turnout lagged and federal prosecutors eyed the lavish retreat.
The Greenbrier resort issued a statement Thursday saying it came to an agreement with the Tour to cancel this year’s tournament because of the coronavirus pandemic and to end future golf contests scheduled at the resort through 2026.
The tournament has struggled to draw fanfare after moving from summer to fall.
The resort and its nonprofit financial arm also were included in a federal investigation of the governor's finances.
