“I can assure everyone that we explored every option for playing The Open this year but it is not going to be possible,” said R&A chief executive Martin Slumbers.
The Open joins a long list of sporting events and golf tournaments that have either been postponed or canceled.
The PGA Tour has already canceled or postponed nine events with tournaments in late May now in danger of facing a similar fate.
The PGA Championship, scheduled for next month in San Francisco, is expected to announce that it is postponing its tournament until August.
