At Quail Hollow in Charlotte, gates open at 10:30am and Friday's second round will also start at 11am.
Players will go out in trios from the first and 10th tees as forecasters warn of heavy downpours, lightning, gusty winds and possible hail.
Play can continue in rain if the course allows, but lightning would suspend action; unfinished rounds could carry into Friday before sunnier weather arrives.
Amidst severe weather, will Quail Hollow's new drainage system prove to be the tournament's saving grace?
As a major golf event is delayed by rain, is this storm a blessing or a curse for drought-stricken Charlotte?
