Let's begin with tournament information from this golfchannel.Com submit.

The LPGA announced Friday that the ANA Inspiration has been rescheduled to Sept. 10-13 at Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, California.
And three more tournaments have been postponed, so...

The earliest the LPGA season could resume is now the Pelican Women's Championship on May 14-17 in Belleair, Florida.
The Korn Ferry Tour players are having more financial worries than you might expect. This Golf Digest article details some of the financial differences between the KFT and the PGA Tour that you might not have thought about. KFT player Mark Baldwin said he's doing better than most because of one finish, and the article tells why:

The test [Baldwin's] talking about: $19,988 for completing T-7 inside the El Bosque Mexico Championship. For evaluation, each of the 144 gamers who teed it up within the one spherical of the Players Championship, even the ones who shot 78 or 79, obtained a take a look at for $fifty two,083. Only 18 gamers on the Korn Ferry Tour have made that tons for the entire season up to now.
The KFT has played only six events this season and they were the most expensive events of the year. Those players are in a very different bind than the big names on the PGA Tour.

You is probably surprised to recognise that some mini-excursions are nonetheless gambling. Anna Nordqvist simply received a playoff at a Cactus Tour event, and this GC article can provide you with a few info on how the mini-tour state of affairs looks.

Not anybody is so lucky, even on the club degree. Pennsylvania has been hit sincerely difficult by using COVID-19, a lot so that the governor pretty a whole lot close down the golfing enterprise there. The Philadelphia Inquirer website is protecting efforts to at the least get the courses themselves back open.

Assuming you may get out at the course, the USGA has enacted some transient amendments to the Rules of Golf to make the game a piece extra 'pandemic pleasant.'

In the wider world of sports activities, the Olympics are just a few months away and the International Olympic Committee is starting to sense the heat. This Golf Channel article notes that:

The International Olympic Committee agreed Sunday to discover different alternatives for the 2020 Games, along with the possibility of postponement. A choice must be made within the subsequent 4 weeks...
The Games are currently scheduled for July 24, and that doesn't give the world much time to recover from the vast number of changes that the pandemic has forced on us all. And once you add the training problems caused by those changes... Well, at least the IOC plans to postpone instead of cancel the Olympics.

At least, this is the plan proper now.

And finally, let's look for a bright spot. Look at the photo that heads this post. That's GOLF Magazine's Luke Kerr-Dineen and Steph Curry taking part in a social media campaign that hopes to brighten things up a bit; it's tagged #PlayingThrough.
