Bad weather at TPC Scottsdale has put everything to a halt as the WM Phoenix Open was suspended due to frost and erratic environmental conditions. As of late, the third round is again delayed by 30 minutes and is scheduled for 8 a.m. on Sunday. Previously, the third round was set to begin at 2:10 p.m. on Saturday but havoc from natural disasters and water accumulation due to rain delayed the schedule further. Then, a later date on Sunday at 7:30 a.m. was picked, which was further pushed back due to frost.

Moreover, a similar scenario took place during the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, where, after 54 holes, the match was canceled. Thus, if the third round of the event takes place on Sunday, that brings us to Monday for the final round. If it does take place on Monday, the date will coincide with the Super Bowl. Further on the same post, the PGA associations updated that the match was delayed by 45 minutes.

A golf fan finds it impressive that the PGA event is taking place on the same date as the Super Bowl.
Going from finishing a tournament thru a press release to playing during the Super Bowl. Real impressive stuff here.

The entire golf roster is in a bizarre uncertain condition and only the authorities can decide how to end the event decently.
