Masters Postponement Poll: May, October Or...?
/
Instead of wondering why people hoard toilet paper or what the fate of the world might look, let’s do what Joe Kernen did on Monday’s Squawk Box.
Let us pretend it’s two weeks ago.
For the sake of this exercise, we will act like the coronavirus spread slows, meaning today’s “postponed” Masters can go forward in 2020.
We will also pretend that the PGA of America is open to the idea of a date switch. If they’d like to ever dine on the veranda again, they will be. There would be the issue of CBS and ESPN making this work, as well as the possibility of a non-hurricane infused overseed of Augusta National for an October playing.
Even with limited virus testing, we know California has more cases than Georgia, therefore making the May PGA Championship at Harding Park likely more difficult to go through with versus a Masters in May with or without spectators, as Rory McIlroy suggested.
Oh, and pretend Augusta homeowners who rent out Masters week are willing to do so in May or October. So for the sake of argument, that everyone feels comfortable going ahead and making a date swap. (There are a handful of other Masters issues to consider, as Bob Harig presented here for ESPN.com.)
Would you prefer to see the Masters played in May, October or not at all?
