  • Deception (50%)
    The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it states that the final round has been postponed to Monday due to inclement weather and safety concerns. However, this statement is not entirely accurate as there are no specific details about what caused the delay or how long it will last.
    • The article does not provide any information on why the tournament results will be final through 54 holes.
  • Fallacies (85%)
    The article contains several fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority when stating that the PGA TOUR Regulations state that tournament results will be final through the conclusion of 54 holes. However, this is not a factual statement and it is unclear where this information came from.
    • The storm affecting the Monterey Peninsula throughout the day Sunday is forecast to continue into the early hours of Monday with very strong winds.
  • Bias (85%)
    The article contains several examples of bias. Firstly, the author uses language that dehumanizes and demonizes those who are affected by the storm such as 'inclement weather' and 'safety concerns'. Secondly, there is a disproportionate number of quotes from PGA TOUR officials which could be seen as an attempt to present their perspective in a way that minimises any potential criticism. Thirdly, the article uses language that implies that the decision to cancel the final round was made solely out of concern for safety when it is also likely due to financial considerations.
    • The final round remains delayed. The first tee time will not be before noon PT.
      • The storm affecting the Monterey Peninsula throughout the day Sunday is forecast to continue into the early hours of Monday with very strong winds. Although conditions are forecast to improve through the morning Monday, after consultation with Monterey County emergency authorities, who have implemented a Shelter in Place order until early tomorrow morning for the greater Pebble Beach community, and out of an abundance of caution for the safety of all constituents, there will be no play on Monday.
        • With a potentially historic storm system hitting California on Sunday, the final round has been suspended.
