Take The PGA Tour's Ryder Cup Poll...Only With The Obvious Missing Question
/AP’s Doug Ferguson lays out the issues facing those charged with determining the 2020 Ryder Cup’s fate. It seems saving the 2021 Presidents Cup—yes the Presidents Cup—because it has been pre-sold, would be a blow to the PGA Tour coffers. So they surveyed top players last week about what to do.
One small problem?
A possible survey winner, Ferguson reports, was not included as an option for a decision that is not even the PGA Tour’s to make.
That’s why the tour went to some of the top players last week at Colonial for a survey. Players were asked to prioritize the following scenarios: a Ryder Cup this year with no fans, a Ryder Cup with half the fans or a Ryder Cup in 2022.
I’m sure it was just an administrative oversight to leave out the other option some might select: postpone the Ryder Cup to 2021.
So in the interest of helping the PGA Tour make a decision that is not theirs to make—the PGA of America controls the 2020 Ryder Cup date—why don’t we do our own poll here with all of the appropriate options?
