1. Unless players agree to isolate themselves during the season

then now.

If the PGA and USGA do not quarantine the players, the majors should be cancelled as well as the not so majors.

2. Shouldn't have to

Of all the sports... it’s near the top of any “easy to social distance” list.

3. Golf seems like it would be a low-risk activity.

It's played outdoors and doesn't require close physical contact with other players, so I would think the risk of transmission while playing golf is minimal. The three players who tested positive could have picked up the virus somewhere else. Of course precautions should be taken -- maintain physical distance, require caddies to wear masks and gloves, etc. -- but it seems to me that it's an activity that people can engage in safely with a little effort.

On the other hand, pro golfers tend to be Republican, so maybe some of them are not taking the virus seriously.

4. "Three players who tested positive could have picked up the virus somewhere else ..."

Exactly. At an airport. On a jet. In a restaurant. From a caterer. Or a caddy. A tournament official. A sponsor.

No activity involving others is immune.

5. Koepka's Caddie Got Infected...

...because he lost a coin flip for the last seat on the private jet.
He tested negative on Sunday morning. Flew commercial on his own. Tested positive Wednesday morning.
I don't know how they could bubble wrap that.
Tour leases a couple of 757s and everyone goes without contact in airport concourses?
I don't know.

6. Considering what's happening nationally, it's par for the course

(pun intended)

7. Very Punny, Augie!!!

That sound you heard is the caddie that won the coin flip going "Whew!!!!!"
