Masters, US Open and USPGA Championship Get New Dates in Rescheduled 2020 Golf Calendar

Augusta US Masters

New dates have been revealed for the Masters, US Open and USPGA Championship as part of a rescheduled golf calendar for the remainder of 2020.

While the 2020 Open Championship won’t take place after the R&A decided to postpone the 149th edition of the major until 2021, this year’s other three majors could still take place.

The rejigged calendar will still hinge on developments surrounding the ongoing coronavirus outbreak worldwide, which has seen big sporting events including the Olympic Games pushed back 12 months.

The Masters, US Open and USPGA Championship could yet take place after a joint statement was released by the Augusta National Golf Club, European Tour, LPGA, PGA of America, PGA TOUR, The R&A and USGA detailing a revised reschedule.

“This is a difficult and challenging time for everyone coping with the effects of this pandemic,” the statement read. “We remain very mindful of the obstacles ahead, and each organization will continue to follow the guidance of the leading public health authorities, conducting competitions only if it is safe and responsible to do so.

“In recent weeks, the global golf community has come together to collectively put forward a calendar of events that will, we hope, serve to entertain and inspire golf fans around the world. We are grateful to our respective partners, sponsors and players, who have allowed us to make decisions – some of them, very tough decisions – in order to move the game and the industry forward.

“We want to reiterate that Augusta National Golf Club, European Tour, LPGA, PGA of America, PGA TOUR, The R&A and USGA collectively value the health and well-being of everyone, within the game of golf and beyond, above all else. We encourage everyone to follow all responsible precautions and make effort to remain healthy and safe.”
