Golf's prestigious Memorial tournament is likely to slot into the calendar on the July dates of the cancelled British Open, tournament host Jack Nicklaus said.
Nicklaus thinks it unlikely the Memorial can be staged in its original June 4-7 timeslot due to the coronavirus outbreak gripping the United States and much of the world.Instead, the PGA Tour is planning to postpone the event until July 16-19, Nicklaus said."I think they're looking at probably the British Open ," said Nicklaus, who founded the event in 1976 at his home Muirfield Village course in Dublin, Ohio.
It has so-called"elevated status" on tour, with the winner receiving a three-year exemption, one more than regular tournaments.The PGA Tour, as with the rest of the sports world, is having difficulty planning for a resumption given the unpredictable health crisis. The official schedule still has competition resuming at the Charles Schwab Challenge in Fort Worth, Texas from May 21-24.
