PGA Championship: the first men’s major of the year will be contested at TPC Harding Park, without spectators being present (Aug 6-9).
European Senior (Staysure) Tour: the Europe-based over-50s tour for men has taken the reluctant step of cancelling the entire 2020 season, based on the additional coronavirus risk associated with the age demographic of the players.
Who's Who:
Daniel Berger: the first significant Tour event to pave the way out of golf’s Coronavirus lockdown brought Daniel Berger his third PGA Tour title.
Webb Simpson: claims his second win of 2020 with a one-shot victory over Mexico’s Abraham Ancer in The Heritage tournament at Harbour Town.
Traigh Golf Course (pronounced "try", and meaning "beach" in Gaelic): You'll find this nine-hole seaside gem on the scenic coast road (as opposed to the more inland and quicker A830) between Arisaig and Morar. Although not on the well-beaten path of Scotland's "trophy" courses, if you are passing through this area, it's a must play.
