The first major of the season was scheduled to be held between April 9 and April 12 but has now been moved.
Golf's first major of the season, the Masters has never been played outside March or April and had been held without interruption for the last 74 years in its traditional home of Augusta, Georgia.Since its inception in 1936, the tournament had only been called off between 1943 and 1945, due to the Second World War.
"Ultimately, the health and well-being of everyone associated with these events and the citizens of the Augusta community led us to this decision," Fred Ridley, chairman of Augusta National Golf Club, said in a statement on Friday morning.
