The return of the PGA Tour

PGA Tour

So the PGA Tour is back, and it has received both praise and criticism from many! I think it’s safe to say the extreme lack of sports on both the collegiate and professional levels during the first three months of COVID-19, was a complete and utter tragedy for sports lovers in the United States. If you look back at March, April, and May of this year, the NHL was about to begin their playoffs, March Madness was completely cancelled, and the NFL had its first ever digital draft. I suppose this wouldn’t have been so bad if people were outside of their homes working and living their daily lives, but they weren’t! Everyone was stuck quarantining at home with not a single college level or professional sport insight.

Enter the savior of Covid time American professional sports, the PGA Tour. On June 11, the PGA Tour started back up with the ‘Charles Schwab Challenge’ in Fort Worth, Texas. I have to say, I was more giddy than an eight-year old boy who had just gotten a puppy for Christmas. As a sports fan in general, and more specifically of golf, it was great to see all of the players out on the course showing viewers at home what great golf looks like. It was also nice to know that what I was watching wasn’t some reply from six months or even a decade ago. Lord knows, we have all had just about enough of those retched replays on Sports center.

However, my carefree attitude wasn’t to last for long. In fact, on Friday, June 12 just one day into the return of the PGA Tour, professional golfer Nick Watney tested positive for COVID-19 while participating in the ‘Charles Schwab Challenge.’ Now, I think that I can speak for the rest of the golf nation when I said, “Please dear God, do not let the PGA Tour be cancelled one day into its return.” Thankfully, the PGA Tour and the CDC executed their pre-thought-out plans in order to deal with such a situation. Nick Watney was directed to recuse himself from the tournament, and to quarantine in place for the following 10 days. The CDC also gathered a list of names of people that Watney had come into close contact with during the last 48 hours. The list contained 11 names, and all individuals were tested resulting in negative cases.

Nearing the end of June, the PGA Tour is preparing for its third tournament of the Summer which is planned the weekend of June 25-28 at ‘TPC River Highlands’ in Cromwell, Connecticut. As a fan of the sport, I have to say that it feels great to be able to watch professional golf once again. However, the PGA Tour hasn’t returned without a fair share of criticisms via angry people on social media. Is it the safest thing for all of the players to be traveling the U.S. and playing golf right now? Maybe not. However, the PGA Tour has worked very closely with Government officials and organizations in order to make the tournaments as safe as possible for everyone involved. To put it simply, I’m certain that we have all heard that one friend say, “Everything should be cancelled until there is a cure/vaccine.” Don’t get me wrong, that sounds great in theory. However, is that really practical? What if the vaccine takes two or three years to be discovered and/or produced on a national/global scale? Are we all okay with staying in doors for that amount of time? Probably not...

The way that I look at, life MUST go on. No one ever said that it was safe to drive your car into work or to sit for eight hours a day at your desk cranking out work. Regardless, the vast majority of people manage to do such things and make their way through everyday life. People can only be deprived of so much, all in the name of safety I might add. How far are we all willing to go as a collective before we lose too much, i.e. jobs, businesses, financial security, a social life, sports on TV, etc.? Thankfully, ever since the PGA Tour has come back, other professional organizations such as the NHL and MLB have made plans for their returns in the coming months. As far as I am concerned, this is news that should be considered good in most people’s book. The point is, life has to go on. Pandemic or not. So why can’t we all enjoy a little bit of golf along the way?
