How I quarantined for two weeks to play video games for 100M people
Tiger Woods’ defense of his Masters title has been put on hold after the revered tournament was postponed because of the spread of coronavirus.
The year’s first major was set to take place at its traditional home of Augusta National, Georgia, from April 9.
But members of the private club said Friday they had come to a decision which is “appropriate under these unique circumstances.”
“The health and well-being of everyone associated with these events and the citizens of the Augusta community led us to this decision,” said chairman Fred Ridley in a statement.
“We hope this postponement puts us in the best position to safely host the Masters Tournament and our amateur events at some later date.”
Augusta National was also set to hold the Women’s Amateur and the junior Drive, Chip and Putt Finals ahead of the Masters.
“As COVID-19 continues to impact the lives of people everywhere, we seek your understanding of this decision and know you share our concern given these trying times,” added Ridley.
Tiger Woods punched the air to tumultuous applause and chants of "Tiger, Tiger" as he sealed his 15th major title.
