- Announcement could be made next week
- Evian Championship put back and US PGA aims for 6 August
The R&A is understood to be edging closer to a postponement of the Open Championship, amid a growing realisation golf’s oldest major cannot be held in July at Royal St George’s. An announcement could be made following talks next week, with the Open’s organisers hopeful of rescheduling the tournament for later in the year as a backup plan.
With the Masters and US PGA Championship already postponed, the US Open and Open are the two men’s majors left in their designated spots. The US Open is due to start on 18 June at Winged Foot in New York, and reports in the United States suggest an unsurprising postponement is imminent.
