See below for news from the Section, PGA of America and governmentThe Gateway PGA Section will begin its 2020 tournament schedule on Monday, June 8th at The Legends for a Stroke Play Event. We’ve had to augment our tournament schedule in such a way that abides by the separate stay-at-home orders and dates. Our situation is unique because our Section boundaries include parts of the state of Missouri, state of Illinois, St. Louis County, St. Louis City and the surrounding counties. We will continue to be flexible as we adhere to state and county guidelines. While some communities may be able to reopen at a faster rate, others may need to continue restrictions to keep the virus from spreading. Thus, our schedule will be creative in nature.
Additionally, the PGA of America, White House and CDC have been working to develop proper guidelines for golf that align with the White House’s three phases of “Opening Up America Again.” Working with these guidelines will ensure the health and safety of our Members, staff and the facilities in which we operate. We will send out a document with comprehensive Gateway PGA tournament guidelines specific to COVID-19 in the coming weeks. Registration for all June & July events opens this Friday, May 1st in Golf Genius through www.gatewaypga.org. At this time, our immediate schedule will reflect the following.
NOTE: Because of the suspension of the Spring Meeting, all tournament program attendance requirements have been waived for the 2020 season. The Section will continue to review its schedule and operations based on CDC, WHO and government guidance and communicate updates with you.
For the foreseeable future, the Gateway PGA Section staff will be working remotely. Should you need to reach any staff member, their remote contact information is listed below.

Today, @POTUS visited Pittsburgh, PA. His first stop was at a 50+ year-old bridge that collapsed this morning.
Frick Park Bridge is just one of thousands of bridges nationwide in need of repair, and a strong example of why @POTUS fought to pass the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
This record-setting enrollment period was a result of the hard work of @POTUS and Democrats in Congress. By passing the American Rescue Plan, they made health care more affordable for millions, building on a legacy I am deeply proud of. https://apnews.com/article/coronavirus-pandemic-joe-biden-business-health-congress-dd18bbe9bfb69f7ef3e9393dc19ca023

Happening Now: President Biden delivers remarks on building a better America. https://twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1YpKkZpwaPBxj
During @POTUS's first year in office, we've seen historic economic growth, including:
-6.4M+ jobs created, the largest yearly job growth in U.S. history
-National unemployment fell to 3.9%, four years earlier than experts predicted
-GDP growth at 5.7%, the highest rate since 1984
As a nation, we must honor victims of the Holocaust, learn from survivors, pay tribute to the rescuers, and carry forth the lessons of last century’s most heinous crime. This week, @POTUS and @VP met with survivors of Auschwitz to hear their stories of courage and bravery.
Today, @USDOT announced the federal government’s new, comprehensive National Roadway Safety Strategy — a roadmap for addressing the national crisis in roadway fatalities and serious injuries.

3,000 people die every month. During the pandemic, it's gotten worse.
