Still don’t think football is very much in jeopardy? Golf may be the easiest sport to play without a crowd (of course, no one wants to see that). We’re already canceling events in mid-July. And we think 100,000 people gatherings are going to go forward?
Golf's - and especially the British Open's - problem isn't that you couldn't conceivably play it at that point in time. I would guess safely getting 150 players + a skeleton television crew together is well within what could be OK by that point. The British Open's problem is that qualifying starts months in advance at places all over the world. Wimbledon's problem is that the grass is only fit for professional play for a brief period out of the year.

Wimby and the open have good insurance policies and cancelled for purely for the money.
