US President Donald Trump's idea of golf getting back to normal is having thousands of fans who aren't wearing masks in attendance and "practically standing on top of each other," reports AP.
Trump joined the NBC broadcast Sunday of "TaylorMade Driving Relief," a Skins game involving Rory McIlroy and Dustin Johnson against Rickie Fowler and Matthew Wolff. It was the first live golf on television since the COVID-19 pandemic shut down golf and other sports on March 12.
The PGA Tour plans to return on June 11 at the Charles Schwab Challenge in Fort Worth, Texas. The tour has said it will not have fans for at least a month.
"After that, hopefully, it will be back," Trump said in his interview with NBC host Mike Tirico. "We really want to see it back to normal so when we have all these thousands, tens of thousands of people going to your majors and going to golf tournaments, we want them to be having that same experience.
We don't want them having to wear masks and be doing what we've been doing for the last number of months.
