    Reason for Golf not stepping up?

    Why is the PGA is not playing right now? (Covid-19) Obviously, but an outdoor sport with built in social distancing. Whoever is running the show w the PGA is making a huge mistake IMO.

    PGA would be getting record ratings, both TV and sports betting handle.

    There will be books written looking back on all of the mistakes being made during these times and the PGA mishap should be one of them.

    Rich golfers don't want to catch this shit. Just like the other highly paid sports athletes. Don't be deceived. The athletes are the reason there are no sports playing right now. The healthiest and most skilled bodies on the planet don't want to catch something that might cause them to miss out on millions or sickness in the future.

    Operative word. Rich. Serena and Nadal could be playing also. Rich athletes are not risking this even though nothing will happen to them.

    Who takes the most risk with their health off the field/court? Everyday Joe Blow/degenerate gambler or a highly paid/highly skilled professional athlete. Let's open up the country for the regular folks to get their rocks off but the rich athletes are not coming back until there is absolutely zero chance of catching anything that will compromise their bodies or income.

    The PGA Tour restarts next week; first four events will be without fans. We'll see how it goes.

    If the dam army and entire police force can come out into the streets with not one of them wearing a mask and standing side by side. I'm pretty sure this whole virus thing is a hoax.
