Memorial Tournament founder and host Jack Nicklaus said on Friday that the tournament is probably slated to move from its June 1-4 spot on the PGA Tour schedule to July 16-19.
“I don’t think they’ve announced it yet; they’re looking probably at the British Open week,” Nicklaus said on the CBS Sports First Cut podcast. “The British Open canceled and they could move us back into that.”
Nicklaus quickly added that nothing is certain until if and when the Memorial is officially postponed from its current spot on the tour calendar.
“Of course right now the Memorial Tournament is still on in its regular date,” Nicklaus said. “Whether we’ll be ready in the first of June, I seriously doubt it. Whether we’ll be ready in the middle of July, I don’t know. But we certainly hope.”
The Tour has canceled events up to the Colonial on May 21-24. An updated late May and June schedule has yet to be released as the tour works through issues related to the coronavirus pandemic.
