Mac Engel: David Feherty believes playing golf without fans is harder

Dan Jenkins, we need you.

The 2020 Charles Schwab Challenge is one of those moments we need golf's greatest historian, and funniest funny man, to put this event in its proper perspective.

Of course, Mr. Jenkins is no longer will us, God rest his soul.

Part of me thinks DJ would have gently gelded his country club, Colonial, for agreeing to hold its annual PGA Tour event without fans, while celebrating the return of the game that he loved as much as a root beer float.

Without Dan, I reached out to the game's other brilliant funny man, and golf historian, Sir David Feherty. I don't think Feherty, a native of Northern Ireland, has been knighted because the queen is stupid.

Feherty has one of those voices that if he reads the ingredients on a box of Cheerios it would make you laugh and lift your spirits.

Feherty was kind enough to answer a few questions to talk about the return of PGA Tour golf, and the 2020 Charles Schwab Challenge.
