Coronavirus: How are professional golfers spending their time off?

Put yourself in the position of a professional golfer.

The tournament schedule for the next month has just been axed. If you’re on the PGA Tour, you might have been at the Tour’s flagship event, the Players Championship, when it was canceled after just one round.

In addition to the cancellation of golf’s fifth major – it is, don’t argue – PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan canceled all events up through the Valero Texas Open (April 2-5). Augusta National postponed the Masters.

Professional players never have this level of free time in their season. So, how are they spending their time off? By playing golf, going to the beach and juggling toilet paper, of course.

Rickie vs. JT

On what would have been Sunday at the Players, Justin Thomas shot a 65 in a match against Rickie Fowler and got rolled by five shots.

Toilet paper #StayAtHomeChallenge

Shoutout to Joost Luiten for starting what may become a golf Twitter viral trend by simply juggling toilet paper on his club.

Bernd Wiesberger

Matthias Schwab

Then Matthias took the crown and made it literally rain toilet paper.

Full Phil

We’ve been wowed by his calves and health gains, but we might see a different looking Lefty when golf returns.

The Hadleys visit the beach

I’d like to think I’m a Chesson or a Hughes, but in reality I’m a Hollins. No way I’m going all the way in!

Ian Poulter’s video games

Being quarantined at the Poulter household wouldn’t be terrible.

The grind doesn’t stop for major champs

Padraig Harrington admitted he was lacking motivation, but that didn’t stop the three-time major champion from putting in some wedge work at home.
