Golf is following other leagues' suit, as The Masters will be postponed due to the current pandemic hitting the United States and beyond. Coronavirus has, essentially, cancelled sports.

From the official Masters website:

Statement from Fred Ridley, Chairman of Augusta National Golf Club:

On Wednesday, March 4, we issued a memo stating that our plans to host the Masters Tournament, the Augusta National Women’s Amateur and the Drive, Chip and Putt National Finals had not changed. Unfortunately, the ever-increasing risks associated with the widespread Coronavirus COVID-19 have led us to a decision that undoubtedly will be disappointing to many, although I am confident is appropriate under these unique circumstances.

Considering the latest information and expert analysis, we have decided at this time to postpone the Masters Tournament, the Augusta National Women’s Amateur and the Drive, Chip and Putt National Finals.

Ultimately, the health and well-being of everyone associated with these events and the citizens of the Augusta community led us to this decision. We hope this postponement puts us in the best position to safely host the Masters Tournament and our amateur events at some later date.

We will continue to work with the World Health Organization, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Office of the Governor, the Georgia Department of Public Health, the City of Augusta and all other local authorities. We are grateful to all of these entities for their exceptional efforts and guidance.

While The Masters isn't exactly something ClutchPoints(dot)com would normally follow, with the coronavirus pandemic ruining much of all entertainment, we thought it best to keep you posted on the latest happenings in the sports world.

In the grand scheme of things, sports doesn't happen to be all that important, but as social distancing becomes the new norm, and without an escape like sports on television sets, here's to wishing everyone a mentally and physically safe few weeks.
