Reflecting on the 2020 Masters, last year’s Presidents Cup at Royal Melbourne looks like an event that’s still growing in significance historically as a turning point for things to come.
The two events’ proximity to the Masters surely plays a role in the star-studded fields. And both tournaments are an opportunity to get four guaranteed rounds in, as each features a 78-man field with no cut.
As more sports leagues and events began to shut down amid growing coronavirus concerns, it became apparent, however, that the PGA Tour might soon follow suit.
Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Jason Day and Hideki Matsuyama are set to square off in a globally-televised skins game, the first in a series of annual competitions staged by GOLFTV.
It’s not an official PGA Tour event. Still, the money earned at the Hero World Challenge spends nicely … and comes relatively easy in the 18-player, no-cut field.
The new version of Tiger Woods won’t allow a few poor rounds to spoil a season that saw him return to the winner’s circle and contend in the final two Majors of the year.
