They need to push the Masters back, I agree, but it likely impacts Majors
across the board.
Here is what I propose:
The Players is a Major (all the Major players play there) move it back to the end of March
Masters move it back to the end of April when the Azaleas are in bloom without heaters
PGA Championship play it on Memorial Day weekend (maybe with it ending on Monday) How about honoring those that made the ultimate sacrifice!!! 🇺🇸
US Open play it either the weekend before or after of July 4th (depending on what day July 4th lands), you know having the “US” Open around the most significant event in our country’s history would be pure awesome!!🇺🇸
Move The Open 🇬🇧🇮🇪🏴 etc back to end of July or the first weekend in August. It might just be above 50 degrees when they play it. 🤣
Lastly, move the FedEx Cup back a couple of weeks, or just buckle up PGA Tour players, you play almost every week anyway. in fact, you all did that as Junior Golfers for free (not free to your parents), you can certainly do it when you get paid to do it.
Do that, and turn March Madness into April Madness. The tailgating for the last rounds would be off the hook.
PS CBS has the NCAA 🏀 Tournament contract for years, so it’s up to them.

Real reason for expansion is more TV money for the NCAA, but they cloak it
