Golf writer Alistair Tait blogs this morning that Ewan Murray writes in today's Guardian what we all suspected, PGA of America is set to announce the 2020 Ryder Cup at Whistling Straits will be cancelled and re scheduled to 2021 due to COVID_19.
With the pandemic surging again in 18 states, nearly 40,000 new cases in one day in America, world wide travel restrictions and quarantines and importantly no guarantees regarding fan safety as well as opposition to play with no fans from stars like Rory McIlroy and Brooks Koepka the call to cancel is the right one.
Needless to say TV networks with huge vested interests like Sky Sports will be hurt financially, however this world pandemic has left organizers with little choice.
The announcement is expected next week.
