MADISON, Miss. — PGA Tour officials canceled the weather-stricken Viking Classic on Saturday because of unplayable course conditions.

There will be no makeup date and players will move on to the final event of the season, the Children's Miracle Network Classic, starting Nov. 12 in Orlando, Fla.

Annandale Golf Club got 1.75 inches of rain overnight Friday and Saturday, soaking an already marginal course that had areas of standing water and large tracts of mud. Madison has received more than 20 inches of rain in the past six weeks.

"I told them this was closer to a FEMA disaster site than a golf course," tournament director Randy Watkins said. "Somebody asked if you could play somewhere else. I don't think you could play golf within 150 miles of here."

Officials postponed, then canceled play Thursday and Friday mornings after nearly constant rain.

There had been hope officials might shorten the tournament from 72 to 54 holes and play this week or next weekend, but groundskeepers said they didn't think the course would dry out that quickly.

It was the first time a tournament has been scrapped outright because of weather since the 1996 AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, which was canceled because of unplayable conditions

This will really make the last one (Disney) interesting...........on many aspects from exemptions to final position!

Will be interesting for sure,,,,,,

Have to wonder how many near the cut line aren't in Disney but were in the Viking. Would be real tough on those guys.
