2020 Masters Tournament postponed
On Friday, Chairman of Augusta National Golf Club Fred Ridley announced that the 2020 Masters would be postponed and played at a later date.
The Augusta National Women’s Amateur and the Drive, Chip and Putt National Finals are also postponed in a decision the club feels “puts us in the best position to safely host the Masters Tournament and our amateur events at some later date.”
“On Wednesday, March 4, we issued a memo stating that our plans to host the Masters Tournament, the Augusta National Women’s Amateur and the Drive, Chip and Putt National Finals had not changed. Unfortunately, the ever-increasing risks associated with the widespread Coronavirus COVID-19 have led us to a decision that undoubtedly will be disappointing to many, although I am confident is appropriate under these unique circumstances.
Considering the latest information and expert analysis, we have decided at this time to postpone the Masters Tournament, the Augusta National Women’s Amateur and the Drive, Chip and Putt National Finals.
Ultimately, the health and well-being of everyone associated with these events and the citizens of the Augusta community led us to this decision. We hope this postponement puts us in the best position to safely host the Masters Tournament and our amateur events at some later date.
We will continue to work with the World Health Organization, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Office of the Governor, the Georgia Department of Public Health, the City of Augusta and all other local authorities. We are grateful to all of these entities for their exceptional efforts and guidance.
We recognize this decision will affect many people, including our loyal patrons. Your patience as we make every effort to communicate effectively and efficiently is appreciated, and we will share any additional information as soon as it becomes available. Updates also will be posted to our website, Masters.com.
As COVID-19 continues to impact the lives of people everywhere, we seek your understanding of this decision and know you share our concern given these trying times. Thank you for your faithful support.”
The decision follows the PGA Tour’s move to suspend the Players Championship following the first round of play, and cancel the WGC-Dell Match Play Championship, and Valero Texas Open. The Masters was scheduled to be played April 9-12.
The club has made no comment on when the major championship could be contested or whether the Drive, Chip & Putt competition or Augusta National Women’s Amateur will be rescheduled as well.

You really have to think how much worse this might get if a place like ANGC with all of the resources and contacts they have at their fingertips are deciding to postpone this far in advance. It seems like a clear connection that they know we’re only at the beginning of this thing and we’re going to have cancellations and postponements for months.

The whole point is to *stop* it from continuing to spread. If we “do nothing” and go about our normal routines, it continues to spread and increase. If we preemptively prevent contact, we decrease the spread and then allow it to burn itself out.
The vast majority of people apparently do not have the cognitive ability to understand this.

And so says – and so does – one of the most staunchly conservative organizations in golf! I mean, it’s only 5 years since they admitted females were full citizens.
Will the c-flakes now calm down and take the world’s advice, or will they stamp their feet and shake their disapproving fists, and continue to call it an overreaction to Boe Jiden’s Big Hoax? Only time and more death will tell!

“You’re a douche”.
Nothing less insulting than a grammatically faulty insult.

You sir have wasted WAAAYYYY too much of your life ranting about a flu on multiple pages OF A GOLF WEBSITE!! We are here to TALK GOLF (what a concept!) not listen to your political nonsense.
Go back to your sorry life and quit trying to drag other people down with you. Drop the victim mentality and actually go help someone accomplish one of their goals. Big or small.
“He who acts smart is foolish and he who acts foolish is smart”…. not sure why that comes to mind while reading your comments
Other than that have a fantastic evening!!
