GOLF: PGA: Appleby calls for later PGA date

/noticias.info/ Stuart Appleby has called for the year's final major to be pushed back in the golfing calendar.

Next week's PGA Championship at Oakland Hills in Michigan will come just three weeks after the Open Championship at Royal Birkdale with the World Golf Championships Bridgestone Invitational sandwiched in between.

"I would personally like to see the PGA another two to four weeks later, spacing them out," Appleby said. "We wait for the Masters so much, then we have a nice break until the (US) Open, and then we get to the Open, and only a handful of weeks later, really, we jam in the PGA sort of very, very close."

He added: "I'd ideally like to see them spaced out relatively evenly, but then you might be clashing with TV ratings in other sports, so there is a TV functional reason why.

"But as a golfer I'd like to see a good four to six weeks between majors minimum." notas_de_prensa_archivo
