However, it’s not just players that fans would be looking forward to! Weather would also have the netizens’ attention.

The 2024 season has faced numerous challenges due to unfavorable weather conditions. Recently, Puerto Rico encountered the weather’s wrath, resulting in the postponement of several rounds since day 1. The final round of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am also faced cancellation due to the weather. The WM Phoenix Open suffered a similar fate, with multiple delays caused by rain.

The humidity levels are anticipated to range from 59% to 95%. It might cause discomfort for the pros, making it hard to tee off and swing. As the day progresses, the clouds are expected to clear, revealing some glimpses of sunlight.

In the second round, the early players are still anticipated to battle the high humidity level. But as the day unfolds, the wind is expected to blow slowly. It is anticipated to show fluctuations between 7 km/h and 22 km/h, which is almost triple the initial speed. The high-speed wind has the potential to affect the arrangement of the clouds, but there are no chances of rain in sight.
