Well that stinks. Maybe he can drive out of Boston? I am assuming snow? He knows the course so he can get there whenever.

The New England coast is a hot mess right now with 3 nor'easter snowstorms in 10 days, Boston airport was especially affected.
Yes, snow. Boston is forecasted for 12-18 inches of it today through tomorrow, with 40-50 mph winds and the airport is right on the water. With snow storms, if they're not flying out, driving isn't any better of an option.
From where Simon is (an hour west of Boston), he'd be looking at at least a 5-6 hour drive in good conditions before he'd get to a place where he could catch a flight unaffected by the storm. In the snow, you can just about count on doubling that drive time. Way more stress and potential danger than playing in the tournament is worth.

Trains are not affected as much, he could hop a train to hartford or NYC. Acela is running a modified schedule, but they are still running.
According to Flight Aware, 58% of flights into Bradley (Hartford) and 53% of flights out are cancelled today. That's better than Logan (Boston), which is at 70% of inbound flights cancelled and 81% of outbound flights, but not by a lot. So I suppose he's got a slightly better chance, but it's still probably a two hour drive (in the snow) to get from Worcester to Hartford.

The back 9 can be a bit hard to spectate if there's a crowd.
yeah true that, I was there last year. At least the last 5 holes of the tournament layout are out in the open
Any live coverage?
Starting at 4pm EDT (3pm CDT, 2pm MDT, 1pm PDT, etc)
Did anybody hear anything regarding Simon?
He managed to get a flight and arrived late last night according to his facebook posts. Presumably that means he'll be teeing off at 2:40 central as scheduled.
