March 6, 20205 yr 1st alternate at the AP Invite gets in a car accident on Wednesday on his way to the course, shows up Thursday morning just after 6am and finds out that Molinari withdrew, so he is in the field and playing with Rory and Rose, kid shoots even par to give him a shot at playing the weekend. https://www.pgatour.com/news/2020/03/05/kh-lee-first-alternate-gets-tee-time-after-car-accident-arnold-palmer-invitational.html
March 6, 20205 yr Did Matt Every get hurt last night, or is he completely hung over? 1st round leader at the AP Invite, he shot 65 yesterday; today through 13 he is +8 with 3 doubles and 2 bogeys. On the European tour the kid who shot 29 on the backside yesterday shot 35 today and is T8 at -7.
March 6, 20205 yr Golf channel just ran a stat that yesterday the field was +67 for the day. So far today, they are +204. Course playing a tad tougher.
March 7, 20205 yr Scheffler is gonna get airtime today paired with Rickie. Scottie had it at -5 after an eagle, but then missed a 4 foot birdie putt, then 4 putted for a double bogey.

March 8, 20205 yr Rory was 5 under and tied for the lead when NBC coverage started. Now he’s even par, 6 back. Edited March 8, 20205 yr by Jive Turkey
March 12, 20205 yr The show goes on! https://www.pgatour.com/competition/2020/the-players-championship/leaderboard.html Bryson staying hot early.
March 12, 20205 yr Jonathan Coachman @TheCoachrules 49m Hard to believe how far off Jordan Spieth has fallen. He is currently 12 shots back of the lead in the 1st round with one hole to play. What a long two years for him. Hope he can get it back. @PGATOUR @PGATOURLIVE

He is currently 12 shots back of the lead in the 1st round with one hole to play. What a long two years for him. Hope he can get it back. @PGATOUR @PGATOURLIVE Spieth was once the No. 1 golfer in the world, but he hasn't won a tournament since 2017 and is 56th in the world golf rankings. According to Golf Channel's Will Gray, Spieth acknowledged his struggles Wednesday before the start of the tournament, saying: "I'm trying to reverse a year-and-a-half of kind of bad reps." Per Brendan Porath of SB Nation, Golf Channel analyst Arron Oberholser suggested Spieth could benefit from different guidance: "I think he needs a coaching change. I do. I think he needs a fresh set of eyes." Whatever advice Spieth received Thursday didn't pay off. Although he managed his second birdie of the day on the par-four seventh, Spieth closed out his round with a pair of pars and finished at three over, which means he is very much in danger of missing the cut Friday. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2880580-jordan-spieth-struggles-to-3-over-75-in-1st-round-of-2020-players-championship

This is way worse than zika.

March 13, 20205 yr Golf channel still on live talking about this breaking news and sounds like it would be a bad look for golf to be the only major sport out there playing during this pandemic. The players seem to support this decision.
March 13, 20205 yr So, I guess this means there are times available at TPC Sawgrass this weekend. This going with me?
March 13, 20205 yr Cool picture my club shared on Instagram today when the Big I was played at texarkana country club in the late 80s.
March 13, 20205 yr Never mind. IG sucks on multiple pic links on a phone. It was a pic of tiger and daly.
March 14, 20205 yr Author So, I guess this means there are times available at TPC Sawgrass this weekend. This going with me?Nope. All those visitors decided to play instead, so every course around here is booked solid.
March 15, 20205 yr I got in some extra golf Friday morning at a local country club in Jax, but likely it was because someone in my group has a lot of pull there
March 18, 20205 yr https://golfweek.usatoday.com/2020/03/17/golfs-five-families-frantically-discussing-saving-schedule/ The week of August 3 is being looked at to reschedule the PGA Championship, two people with knowledge of the situation have told Golfweek. They spoke on the condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to speak publicly. Those dates coincide with the women’s golf competition at the Olympics. The men’s contest in Tokyo concludes the previous week. The Masters, which announced its postponement last week, could potentially take place in October. As of now, the other two majors remain scheduled on their original dates: the U.S. Open at Winged Foot (June 18-21) and the Open Championship at Royal St. George’s (July 16-19). Winged Foot is in Westchester County, New York, a hot spot for coronavirus outbreaks. One person with knowledge of the situation who was not authorized to speak publicly on the matter says two possible venues are being internally discussed as alternatives: Oakmont Country Club and Pinehurst No. 2.
March 20, 20205 yr On 3/17/2020 at 11:24 PM, ztejas said: Looks like Masters will be played in October. I don't know about that. Augusta National is closed during that time every year. The base turf is Bermuda and they overseed with rye (I think). They've cancelled the Byron Nelson, which is set for May. Wonder if that might be an option if we can get this thing contained and have that be one of the first tournaments once things start back up?
March 20, 20205 yr Rickie Fowler and Justin Thomas played 18 holes -- left-handed! And Brooks Koepka can hammer a drive lefty. https://myavidgolfer.com/blog/uncategorised/guess-what-rickie-fowler-and-justin-thomas-shot-left-handed/?fbclid=IwAR2I6Pal6fTevmTpfEO7d56fdNsZFr6CqRQcCktjNvXC5Dq0-of9xvXwCS0
March 20, 20205 yr On 3/17/2020 at 11:24 PM, ztejas said: Looks like Masters will be played in October. Well, on second look you might be right. Apparently, Augusta hotels have been cancelling hotel reservations for the first week of October to clear out cheap reservations for Masters-priced rooms.
March 27, 20205 yr https://golfweek.usatoday.com/2020/03/18/coronavirus-korn-ferry-tour-conrad-shindler-golf-lessons/ Korn Ferry pro will break down your video golf swing for $20
March 28, 20205 yr Looks like Davis Love III got a little carried away with sanitizing his home. https://golfweek.usatoday.com/2020/03/27/davis-love-iiis-home-burns-to-the-ground-no-one-hurt/
April 2, 20205 yr Imagine the ratings this will get Why can’t their be smaller PGA events played in front of no fans? It would be a saving grace for sports fans and an opportunity for the PGA to own the sports world for a few month. Edited April 2, 20205 yr by Don Johnson

I'm no lawyer but you'd have to think there is some massive liability for the PGA if they continue to hold events during a pandemic. Also, I'm really hoping the Masters and US Open get played this year. But I think it's much more likely that we see an entire year with no majors.

The one saving grace here is that if one golf tournament gets played the rest of the year it will be the Masters. I think.
