Opinion “As much as we say it was surprising, deep down it was to be expected”

A from the celebration of MASTERS in November 2020 and with a December that was MAYAKOBA CLASSIC that Viktor Hovland won, It did not have major events, it ended a year that is strangely enough that I have no doubt that it will be remembered in a very special way.
It even occurs to me that in 30, 40 years, When golfers who were not born today, review the history and records of the tournaments and find out what happened, they will jump that curiosity that jumps us when today we see that in the first or second world war such was not carried out or what event, wondering about the severity of what happened, why was BRITISH canceled? Why did THE MASTERS change its date? Why was there no gallery? Anyway, very, very rare.
Now that the PGA TOUR in HAWAI has started, he announced that he will gradually admit a gallery, but certainly with a light at the end of the tunnel that allows us to hope that everything will return, I do not know whether to call it to normal, but more or less to like it was before; However, the Mexican fans receive the terrible news that the WGC MÉXICO CHAMPIONSHIP he leaves Mexico after having been present for only four of the seven years scheduled.
We cannot deny that as much as we say it was surprising, deep down it was to be expected. There is no way that for the week of February 22, Mexico could allow an event with 4 or 5 thousand gallery people, with boxes, hospitalities, concessions, etc. Everything indicates, moreover, that the vaccination process will continue for those dates far from what is desired, which would prevent the same players from risking to come to Mexico City. It is not the same to come to MAYAKOBA, stay in a hotel where you look out on the terrace and land on the tee of one, than to come to a hotel in the city, transport yourself for half an hour in beastly traffic All conditions that materially prevent the event from taking place.
We understand the reasoning of the TOUR and the sponsors; Unfortunately this year the tournament is going FLORIDA, and although it is speculated that he could return in 2022, a rumor spread that he could go to the Middle East. I don’t want to sound pessimistic and I hope I’m wrong, but I don’t see a tournament of that category in Mexico City in the medium term.
It is noteworthy at the beginning of the year the important performance of the Latin American players, led by the Chilean Joaquín Niemann, 4th in the FEDEXCUP; Carlos Ortiz, 10; Ancer, 25; Muñoz, 43; and finally Grillo in ’58. So folks, it looks like we’re going to have a good year for Latinos. Until next time.
