Tee times moved up for Biltmore Championship final round due to thunderstorms
Tee times for the final round of the Biltmore Championship in Asheville on Sept. 20 have been moved up to avoid thunderstorms in the afternoon.
The PGA Tour has adjusted tee times for the final round of the Biltmore Championship Asheville due to ongoing thunderstorms in western North Carolina. The first tee times for the final round, scheduled for September 20, will now occur between 7:43 a.m. and 9:55 a.m. ET, according to a September 19 news release. Spectator shuttle buses for parking lots will commence at 6:15 a.m., while entry gates at Cliffs at Walnut Cove will open at 7 a.m. Forecasts indicate a 40% probability of thunderstorms at 2 p.m. ET, which rises to 60% by 4 p.m. ET.
Attendees should be prepared for wet conditions and navigate slippery surfaces with caution. Live updates will be disseminated through the Biltmore Championship's social media channels on X, Instagram, and Facebook. Weather-related schedule modifications have impacted three of the four days at the Biltmore Championship Asheville.
The initial round began half an hour later than planned because of fog, and the start of second-round play was moved up by an hour to circumvent afternoon thunderstorms.
