[Golf Topic] September US Open "Confirmed No Spectators"... What About the Masters?

[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…This year's US Open will be held without spectators.

The United States Golf Association (USGA) announced on the 30th (Korean time) that "to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), the tournament will be held without spectators." The US Open was originally scheduled for June but was postponed to September due to COVID-19. It will open on September 17 at Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, New York. Last year, Gary Woodland (USA) won by 3 strokes, becoming a first-time major champion.

As a result, among the four major championships, the PGA Championship in August and the US Open will be held without spectators. The Masters, originally scheduled for April, was postponed to November, and the decision on spectator admission has not yet been made. The Open Championship in July was canceled. The PGA Tour was suspended after the first round of The Players Championship, known as the "fifth major," in March due to COVID-19, and resumed on June 11 with the Charles Schwab Challenge. The tour has smoothly completed events up to last week's 3M Open.
