PGA Championship Now Joins Masters In Being Postponed & PGA Tour Now Involved In Rescheduling

The PGA Championship has now joined the Masters in being postponed due to fears over the Coronavirus pandemic.

The year’s second Major was due to be staged from Mary 14-17 on the TPC Harding course in San Francisco.

And in the statement released by the PGA of America it is revealed they have been liaising with the PGA Tour for an alternate venue and that could very well be TPC Sawgrass and host to last week’s cancelled Players Championship.

“Throughout our evaluation process, we have been committed to following the guidance of public health authorities and given the coronavirus shelter-in-place order in effect in San Francisco, postponement is the best decision for all involved,” said PGA of America CEO Seth Waugh.

“This is a reflection of a thoughtful process,” Waugh added. “We are and have been working in concert with Commissioner Jay Monahan and our partners and friends at the PGA TOUR to find an alternative date that works for all. We are all very hopeful for a great outcome.

“We are also in dialogue with Mayor Breed and her team at the City of San Francisco and look forward to hopefully bringing the 2020 PGA Championship to TPC Harding Park at a date this summer when it is once again safe and responsible to do so.”

 

News of the postponed of now two of the four majors comes less than a week after the Masters announcement it was postponing next month of the staging of the 84th Masters.
