s the world continues to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic, we have remained steadfast in our commitment to the communities in which we play— where we are invited guests each week—and health and safety remain our No. 1 priority. There have been no shortcuts for our organization, and the cooperation, guidance and support we have received from all constituents—especially our players—has been nothing short of phenomenal throughout. These groups are the reason we were among the first professional sports leagues to return to competition last summer, and they are also responsible for the upward trajectory the TOUR and the game of golf as a whole are experiencing. With that as a backdrop, we are extremely proud of what the PGA TOUR has accomplished over the last 12 months, both on and off the course. Highlights include:
