The PGA of America announced on Tuesday that it would postpone the PGA Championship, originally scheduled for May 14-17 at TPC Harding Park in San Francisco. The organization said it hoped to reschedule the event at TPC Harding Park later in the summer, and that it would remain in contact with the PGA Tour and the City of San Francisco to find the right date. That’s now two majors that have been postponed, considering that Augusta National made the same announcement March 13 for next month’s Masters Tournament. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended on March 15 that gatherings be limited to 50 people or less for the next eight weeks. The PGA Championship fell just one week outside of the recommendation. With two of the season’s four majors postponed, attention now falls to the U.S. Open, scheduled for June 18-21 at Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, New York.
