Despite other golf majors preceding it currently being postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic, the 2020 Open Championship is on the verge of being outright canceled, according to Golf Digest, which said late Wednesday that a decision could be announced by the R&A as early as Thursday.
On Thursday morning, the R&A disputed this report in a statement from chief executive Martin Slumbers: “We are continuing to work through our options for The Open this year, including postponement. Due to a range of external factors, that process is taking some time to resolve. We are well aware of the importance of being able to give clear guidance to fans, players and everyone involved and are working to resolve this as soon as we can. We will give a further update as soon as we are in a position to do so and thank everyone for their support and understanding in this challenging situation.”
