Get out your calendars, sports fans, and pay attention. The game of golf has some news for you.
The Masters is now in November, two weeks before Thanksgiving. The U.S. Open men’s championship will be held in September, the U.S. Open women’s championship in December. The Ryder Cup remains where it was, meaning it comes immediately after the U.S. Open, which is both crazy and fascinating. The PGA Championship will be in August, which is where it used to be. And the men’s British Open is canceled.
The game of golf has been practicing social distancing even before there was such a thing as social distancing. Not in the golf cart, not at the 19th hole, not usually at the tee and definitely not around the greens or near the hole, but you have to give it to golf: people playing a round together often are far more than two yards apart.
You’ll note that the calculation of the number of people needed to put on a golf tournament does not include spectators. At this moment, in early April, the week that the Masters was going to be held, it’s hard to imagine thousands of fans flooding golf courses at any time this year. It’s also difficult to picture 60,000-100,000 fans packing college and pro football stadiums this fall, or 30,000-40,000 in MLB stadiums later this summer.
