The Goodyear Blimp is scheduled to get back into the skies over South Florida this week, but not for a sports event.

Rather, Goodyear says its Wingfoot Two blimp will be flying above hospitals in our region on Friday and Saturday, as way to honor to honor medical professionals who are fighting the coronavirus pandemic every day.

Residents are being encouraged to maintain social distance and watch the blimp from their homes.

After visiting the hospitals, the blimp will fly over Medalist Golf Club in Hobe Sound on Sunday.

That is where golf players Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, along with football stars Tom Brady and Peyton Manning, will be competing in a golf match to raise money for COVID-19 relief efforts.

The Goodyear blimps have remained on the ground since mid-March, when most sports went on hold.
