Since mid-March, sports events around the United States began to get canceled or postponed due to the threat of the coronavirus pandemic.
As the weeks have rolled on and numbers of confirmed cases and deaths increased, professional golf tours have had to adjust, pushing tournaments back or knocking them off the schedule altogether, all in an attempt to salvage the rest of the 2020 season.
The British Open has been canceled, while new dates for the Masters Tournament, the PGA Championship and the U.S. Open are scheduled for later in the fall in hopes the coronavirus pandemic has subsided by then. Details on the PGA Tour’s new major dates can be found here.
