COVID-19: likelihood of watching PGA Tour golf as of March 2020
The COVID-19 pandemic that spread across the world at the beginning of 2020 was not only a big threat to public health, but also to the entire sports industry. Several professional sports leagues, including the NBA and NHL, as well as most professional soccer leagues in Europe, took the decision to postpone or suspend their seasons in order to mitigate the spread of the disease. In a March 2020 survey, 11 percent of respondents strongly agreed with the sentiment that they would be more likely to watch PGA Tour golf due to the suspension or cancellation of other sports like the NBA, NHL, MLS, NCAA basketball and spring training baseball.
