BREAKING: Masters postponed due to health, safety concerns regarding COVID-19
The 2020 Masters Tournament will be postponed due to the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus, Fred Ridley, the chairman of the Augusta National Golf Club, announced Friday.
“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.” Augusta National reportedly reviewed contingency plans this week as the developments “have put all options on the table,” per Golfworld.
