As the PGA Tour commits to 'bunching' big-money tournaments, the Memorial may get pushed later into June, one week before U.S. Open.
Will golf fans accustomed to attending the event during its traditional Memorial Day week placement on the calendar be as understanding? Probably, but scheduling adjustments will need to happen. For example, the second week of June often jump-starts vacation season for families who cannot get away sooner because of school conflicts. For instance, high school athletes are competing this weekend in state championships.
Many of the top tour players want a better schedule “flow,” meaning as many designated events scheduled back-to-back as possible. They don’t like one on, one off. In response, the tour is committed to “bunching” designated events next year. Such a move would allow two or three non-designated events – the Colonial and maybe Detroit, Canada or Houston – to take place over consecutive weeks while bunching three designated events after them.
We shall see. When the tour event in Akron preceded the PGA Championship by a week, the field seldom suffered. Will it be the same here? We can only hope so.
