Well, this certainly isn’t what you want to see right now if you’re a big fan of golf and sports in general. Damn, we just can’t stop with the bad news.
Golf is one of the sports that has returned during the ongoing pandemic, and the last thing we need is multiple people getting knocked out or the events getting shut down.
I’m not even a huge golf fan. I enjoy playing golf, but I’m not one of the people who watches it around the clock. It’s just not my thing.
Having said that, we need all our sports to get going again. The PGA getting hammered with “multiple” individuals having coronavirus is the last thing we need.
Keep checking back for more updates as we have them.
