The Masters would probably be even more popular if you swapped it with the British Open.

Late April: competing with NBA playoffs, MLB, college baseball

Mid July: competes with mid-season MLB

April weather is also a lot more pleasant do be doing stuff outside in the middle part of the day when golf is on TV.



Yeah, I don't get the sense the players and fans would be all that excited to play/attend a tournament in Georgia...in mid-July. It was a "pleasant" 93 degrees in August, GA last July 18th
