The 2020 British Open is expected to become the next major sports event wiped off the calendar this summer due to the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.
The announcement could come as soon as Thursday, according to Joel Beal and Brian WackerofGolf Digest.
The Open is scheduled to begin July 16 at Royal St. George's Golf Club. This would mark the first time the tournament has been canceled since the 1945 Open was called off due to World War II.
