PGA Of America Considering Backup Option For May's PGA?
/Nice scoop by Robert Lusetich on the possibility of the PGA of America considering its options for May’s PGA Championship in San Francisco. He reports the TPC Sawgrass as a possible backup should the coronavirus spread rule out a large sports event at TPC Harding Park.
It’s a logical move in this sense: the TPC Sawgrass will have infrastructure already in place and a golf course capable of hosting a major championship. The PGA Tour and PGA of America are strategic partners and should be able to work out the details.
Not so logical: given the cancellation of so many events and unpredictability of the coronavirus, a contingency venue may not be enough to save the event.
