The Marathon LPGA Classic will be played without spectators in attendance this year.

The tournament is set to be played August 3-9 at Highland Meadows Golf Club in Sylvania.

Tournament officials say safety remains their top priority, and after discussions with the Lucas County Health Department, state officials and the LPGA, they have made the decision to hold the tournament without any spectators.

“I applaud Marathon Petroleum, Dana and the entire tournament team for working so hard to protect the health and safety of everyone involved in their event and the northwest Ohio community,” said LPGA Commissioner Mike Whan.

“This was a difficult decision as fans have always been a big part of the Marathon LPGA Classic presented by Dana. I hope our fans will watch all four rounds of the Marathon LPGA Classic on The Golf Channel this year, but also rejoin us for an epic year in 2021, where we’ll not only be back in Toledo for the Marathon LPGA Classic but also for the 2021 Solheim Cup.”

The Memorial Tournament in Dublin, outside Columbus, is also not allowing spectators for their tournament which runs July 16-19.

Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost says Ohioans with a concealed carry permit can still wear face masks in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Yost says his office has been flooded with questions about whether it’s legal to carry a concealed weapon while having your face covered.

State law requires those in communities at a level three alert or higher to wear masks in public places.

Hancock County is currently at a level one alert status.

In a special address to the people of Ohio on Wednesday, Governor DeWine said Ohio is sliding down a very dangerous path when it comes to the coronavirus.

He says the fact that Ohio’s once-flattened curve is starting to sharpen and spike should be a jarring reminder to people about how quickly our fate can change.

DeWine said Ohioans flattened the curve once and we can do it again.

He’s urging people to wear a mask every time they go out in public regardless of the alert status of their county.

“This virus will end, and don’t we all want to be around when it does?”

The governor didn’t issue any new health orders but did reiterate that as governor he will take whatever action is necessary to protect Ohioans.

He said any new orders would be a discussion for another time.

Ohio was at 69,311 cases of the coronavirus as of Wednesday and 3,075 deaths.

Hancock County was at 98 cases and one death.

Hancock County is at the lowest alert level.

Those crossovers will reopen sometime on Wednesday, according to ODOT.

Crews were required to monitor a bald eagles nest in the area during the project and say the eagles and eaglets did not seem to be bothered by the construction.
