On a marathon PGA Tour Sunday, there’ll be 2 tournaments in 1

The PGA Tour will present two tournaments concurrently on Sunday, Feb. 12, as part of a marathon finish to a season that has stretched over 10 months and four continents.

The Phoenix Open in Arizona and the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in California will both conclude on Sunday, forcing fans and players to split their attention between the two events.

The unusual scheduling quirk is the result of a weather-delayed Phoenix Open, which was originally scheduled to end on Monday but was pushed back to Sunday due to rain.

The PGA Tour is expected to announce a revised schedule for the final day of competition soon.
