LPGA golfers struggle with bad travel situation after the KPMG Women's PGA due to heavy rainstorms

Nasty rainstorms affected the LPGA Tour players' journey while they were heading back home following the conclusion of the 2023 KPMG Women's PGA on Tuesday, June 27. As severe weather moved across the East Coast and Central Plains, over 5400 flights were delayed and around 1600 were canceled.

The LPGA Tour players returning from New Jersey were forced to drive by car due to a dreadful transport situation. Mel Reid, an LPGA golfer, was compelled to rent a car to drive back to Jacksonville, Florida, with her pregnant wife Carly.

He posted a story on her Instagram account of her 14-hour drive.
