Georgia Tech #ProJackets Golf Report

THE FLATS – PGA Tour cancels events through mid-May in all of its tours … Masters Tournament and PGA Championship have been postponed … U.S. Open and the Open Championship remain on the schedule … more in this week’s Georgia Tech #ProJackets Report.

The suspensions in the tour schedules means as many as 20 former Yellow Jackets have no place to play for the foreseeable future. The earliest the PGA Tour, the PGA Tour Champions and the PGA Tour Series-China will resume competition might be the weekend of May 21-24. The MacKenzie Tour was in the midst of several qualifying events in the United States and Canada, and its regular season is not scheduled to begin until the last weekend of May.

The All Pro, SwingThought and G Pro Tours, at which several recent Tech graduates compete, also have postponed upcoming events.

What are some of Georgia Tech’s top professional players doing with their time? See below.

Only seniors who have completed their college eligibility will be considered.

There’s a lot we don’t know about the coming months, but what I know right now is that my wife is homeschooling our kids from the beach and I’m in charge of PE. And lunch. God bless Uncrustables.

Looking at traffic in some of the most notoriously congested cities in the US. Good to see; no traffic on the roads indicates people are doing their part. pic.twitter.com/0dPOR4edeN

Two things I didn’t see coming in 2020:
1) Tom Brady to Tampa Bay
2) Sungjae Im and me playing the same number of events between March and May.

Social media, mostly maligned, has shown it’s potential for good these last couple weeks. Getting quality information from a well curated twitter feed, plus seeing friends and family on IG have been invaluable in these times.
