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.


Neither of these is true

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

I think this will end up being my final opinion, too.

I guess they can do whatever they want, but I'd imagine the executives and players on the ATP, WTA, PGA, European Tour, etc. might not be too thrilled with the decisions in a month or two if this is all behind us!
