Take The PGA Tour's Ryder Cup Poll...Only With The Obvious Missing Question

AP’s Doug Ferguson lays out the issues facing those charged with determining the 2020 Ryder Cup’s fate. It seems saving the 2021 Presidents Cup—yes the Presidents Cup—because it has been pre-sold, would be a blow to the PGA Tour coffers. So they surveyed top players last week about what to do.

One small problem?

A possible survey winner, Ferguson reports, was not included as an option for a decision that is not even the PGA Tour’s to make.

That’s why the tour went to some of the top players last week at Colonial for a survey. Players were asked to prioritize the following scenarios: a Ryder Cup this year with no fans, a Ryder Cup with half the fans or a Ryder Cup in 2022.

I’m sure it was just an administrative oversight to leave out the other option some might select: postpone the Ryder Cup to 2021.

So in the interest of helping the PGA Tour make a decision that is not theirs to make—the PGA of America controls the 2020 Ryder Cup date—why don’t we do our own poll here with all of the appropriate options?

Given what we currently know, pick the "highest priority" option for the 2020 Ryder Cup:Play the Ryder Cup in 2020 even if fans are not allowedPlay the Ryder Cup in 2020 if galleries can be present in some formPostpone the Ryder Cup to 2021 Postpone the Ryder Cup to 2022 pollcode.com free polls
