Do golf tournaments get canceled because of rain?
Not if it's just rain. Play continues through rain with two main exceptions:
Lightning: Play will be suspended until conditions are ruled to be safe. PGA Tour players can also decide if conditions are unsafe.
Pooling: If water builds up on the greens, tee boxes or fairways, play will be suspended until it soaks into the ground or the play areas are cleared.
PGA Tour weather policy
The PGA Tour directs spectators to pay attention to on-course scoreboards for weather messages. The PGA Tour weather policy has five color-coded stages of alerts:
Green: "Inclement weather is not expected today. Enjoy your day!"
Yellow: "Be aware: Inclement weather possible."
Orange: "Be prepared: Inclement weather approaching. Prepare to take shelter or exit the premises."
Red: "Take action: Inclement weather. Play suspended. Seek shelter immediately or exit the premises."
Purple: "Course closed. Play suspended for the day. Exit grandstands, temporary structures, and exit the premises."
The policy says in the event of dangerous weather, fans should avoid hilltops, high places, golf carts, temporary structures, trees and wire fencing.
