Title: Augusta has postponed all events.
Post by: JeffCountyVolFan on March 13, 2020, 05:11:03 EDT
The two best weeks in sports are now done for 2020 it seems (NCAA tournament first week and the Masters).

The Players championship has also been cancelled. 

All high school sports can't be far behind, I think.

Masters has been postponed and are planning to hold it at a later date....Issue with Augusta is it's over seeded with rye and when it gets warmer the rye dies out. I've seen photos of the course in the Summer and it's not much to look at.

I've heard talk of playing it in the fall during the normal Asian swing of the tour schedule.

It's already started for high school sports. TSSAA canceled the girls state basketball tournament at the conclusion of yesterday's quarterfinal games, and the boys state tournament won't be played next week. Spring sports are still going, but there's a conference call between all school superintendents and the state Department of Edu at 4 p.m. today. If that call is to close schools for an extended period (and there's a pretty solid bet that it is), TSSAA will follow by canceling spring sports.

That would make for a crowded late season schedule. There’s already the Olympics and the Ryder Cup scheduled for August and September (assuming they aren’t canceled).
