While Augusta National has continued to monitor the situation throughout the health crisis, sources said the latest developments “have put all options on the table” in regards to the Masters.
The tour said that it contemplated cancelling upcoming tournaments but decided that the best decision was to continue playing, adding that the situation remained fluid and was subject to possible change.
As the threat of COVID-19 continues to cause cancellations of everything from large music festivals across America and a major tennis tournament in California, the PGA Tour is marching on.
Augusta National Golf Club’s statement arrives a day after the International Olympic Committee said the 2020 Tokyo Summer Games would not be postponed.
