The PGA Championship plans to be at Harding Park in San Francisco the first full week in August as the first major on the reconfigured golf calendar.

Still to be determined is whether Harding Park needs to bother building bleachers.

"We believe that holding it without fans is a possibility, something we should try to do if we have to," said Seth Waugh, the CEO of the PGA of America.

The PGA Championship is still about four months out and golf, much like other sports, doesn't have a starting line yet. The PGA Tour was looking at the potential of a mid-June start, although plans can change quickly.

Even so, Waugh said the PGA is looking at various options to be prepared.

"Plan A is to play with fans at Harding Park," he said.

"Plan B is no fans. Plan C is to call an audible if indeed we need to try to play it somewhere we can safely."
