Overview

  • New York State Police say they are planning as if threats exist, adding hundreds of officers plus drones, helicopters and numerous bomb‑sniffing dogs.
  • The PGA of America warns spectators to expect airport‑style checks, temporary area closures and delays around the clubhouse and nearby stands.
  • President Donald Trump is expected on Friday’s opening day, with planning targeting an early‑afternoon arrival window according to AFP.
  • Authorities are monitoring social media for potential threats as the event unfolds on a sprawling public parkland course that draws roughly 50,000 people per day.
  • Officials stress the venue’s open layout complicates control compared with a stadium, and they note Trump’s recent US Open appearance caused significant entry delays.
