- R&A cancels rather than rearranges July’s Open
- Ryder Cup unmoved with Masters set for November
The Open has emerged as the outlier in this year’s major scene after cancelling its 149th staging at Royal St George’s in July.
No sooner had the R&A confirmed that unprecedented step in peacetime than golf’s other big three – the US PGA Championship, Masters and US Open – issued new dates for 2020 despite the coronavirus crisis. The Ryder Cup also remains in its designated position from 25 September at Whistling Straits in Wisconsin.
