Mississippi - Rain washed out Thursday's scheduled start of the 3.6 million-dollar Viking Classic, the penultimate event of the US PGA Tour season.
Organisers postponed the opening round at already soggy Annandale Golf Club to Friday after heavy overnight downpours and more wet weather in the forecast, including a 90 percent chance of Friday thunderstorms.
Players never had a chance to begin their rounds on Thursday as a two-hour weather delay was extended by an hour and then all hope for play was abandoned.
The situation adds to the tension for the PGA players trying to finish among the top 125 on the money list and secure their playing rights for next year.
Stars such as Tiger Woods, the money champion with $10.5m in winnings this season, are eligible to play but most big names skip the final weeks of the campaign as lesser lights fight for their jobs.
