Running 2020 PGA Tour thread

Eight positives out of 2,757 tests (.002) so far.
Three were Korn Ferry Tour caddies and one Korn Ferry player who got positives from home tests and never traveled to the tournament site.
Two were PGA Tour players (Watney and Champ) and two caddies (Koepka and McDowell).
In the meantime, the Phillies have had 12 players and staffers test positive out of, how many? 75 people? 100?
LSU, Clemson, Houston, K-State, Boise ... a much higher percentage of positvity from a much smaller pool of people.
You can make the case that all sports need to shut down until a vaccine is developed and I might actually agree with you.
But if a sport is determined to compete, it seems like the Tour is doing as good a job as possible.

 

I don't think there is a plan B. If they shut it down again, it's shut down for good.

 

Well, a lot of people said they liked the optics of the Rory-DJ vs. Rickie-Wolff match when they carried the stand bags. I suppose if you told them it was the only way to play golf (and make money), they'd suck it up. Not a lot of hilly courses until they get to Augusta in November. They play in Tahoe, Harding Park and Vegas, to name three. Most of them are reading their own greens. I'd say for it, but waive the rule against range-finders.

 

Wait. Augusta is hilly?
Know that I did not.

 

You're right........Tahoe isn't a hilly course.
Those mountains on the other hand.......

 

That approach at 9 sometimes looks like they're hitting up to the top of Everest.

 

10 is a pretty steep drop. The climb up 18 is no bargain if you're out of shape. 8 is a pretty good uphill walk.

 

My most vivid first impression of Augusta was standing by the tee at 10. It seemed like driving off the top of a 10 meter board.

 

I had two.

First, how gorgeous the place is, especially at the Amen Corner. Second, watching players come up short at nine and just how far back down the hill the ball rolled before it finally stopped.
