MADISON, Miss. (AP) — PGA Tour officials have canceled the weather-stricken Viking Classic because of unplayable course conditions.
There will be no makeup date and players will move on to the final event of the season, the Children's Miracle Network Classic on Nov. 12-15 in Orlando, Fla.
Annandale Golf Club received 1.75 inches of rain overnight Friday and Saturday, and an already marginal course was being compared to a disaster area by officials.
Madison has received more than 20 inches of rain in the last six weeks.
This is the first time a tournament has been scrapped outright because of weather since the 1996 ATT Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, which was canceled due to unplayable conditions. The last rainout came in Houston in 1991.
