Given how 2020 has played out, we probably should have seen this one coming.
Sunday was supposed to be the day that Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady squared off in The Match, a televised charity event to raise money to support efforts related to the coronavirus pandemic. For the first time in what seemed like forever, there was a U.S. sporting event that you could mark your calendar to watch.
But the weather had other plans — at least temporarily.
The event at Medalist Golf Club in Hobe Sound, Fla., was delayed due to rain and honestly the conditions on the course didn’t look great.
I think they can get it in soon. pic.twitter.com/6WT7vnoPQT

Yet, even under soggy conditions and the prospect of a postponement, golf fans made light of the delay. They responded to photos of the flooded greens by making the same joke from Caddyshack. It was inevitable.
