It will be back on by June. No way it gets fully canceled

3 days ago we said no way it could ever ever be postponed and look where we are.

My prediction:

The current PGA schedule is too condensed (particularly with the other majors and the late July Olympics) to move The Masters to the current season. With the Tour Championship August 27-30 and the Ryder Cup (in the USA) September 25-27, moving The Masters to September 10-13 makes sense. That is typically the first week of the "fall season." That gives 2 weeks after the season concludes and 2 weeks before the Ryder Cup. Also, because Augusta National is known as a "winter course," closing in the Spring and not opening again until the Fall, the course should be in good condition.

TL;DR: The Masters may move to September 10, 2020.

This is absolutely absurd.

Golf is one of the few sports that absolutely DOESN'T need spectators.

The golfers are literally hundreds of yards away from each other a lot of the time.

Total virtue signaling and cowtowing to mob pressure.



A lot of the golfers are from Europe and Asia, they aren't allowed to enter the country.

This means there will be a cure for the Corona virus within the next week. Old rich white males won't stand for this shite.

Maybe it will be rescheduled on my off week

I honestly don't know why the other golf events are cancelling. No spectators, swab the players and caddy and officials. If any test positive . they aren't allowed. I got nothing to watch this weekend

Poor guy is going to have to just stomach sitting on his porch in Monterrey overlooking the ocean while playing the replica hole of #7 at Pebble in his backyard.

True. But hard to question the "miracles" the Augusta National folks can do.
