(CBS Local/CBS Detroit)- The PGA Tour announced Thursday its plan to re-start its season beginning with the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas on June 8th. The tour says that the first four events following its return will be closed to the public while it continues to monitor the situation and follow the recommendations of local and state authorities.

"The health and safety of all associated with the PGA TOUR and our global community continues to be our No. 1 priority, and our hope is to play a role – responsibly – in the world's return to enjoying the things we love," said PGA TOUR Commissioner Jay Monahan in the press release. "Today's announcement is another positive step for our fans and players as we look toward the future, but as we've stressed on several occasions, we will resume competition only when – working closely with our tournaments, partners and communities – it is considered safe to do so under the guidance of the leading public health authorities."

The schedule will see several tournaments moved around and others have been canceled. The tournaments that had previously been scheduled between May 18 and June 8 have all been rescheduled for later in the tour season.
