US sport edges back from virus shutdown with golf, auto events

World number one Rory McIlroy, left, of Northern Ireland and American Dustin Johnson will team up for a skins game Sunday that will raise US$3 million for coronavirus relief charities. WASHINGTON: World number one Rory McIlroy and America's most popular auto racers will nudge United States sport forward this weekend as hope grows for a June revival from the coronavirus shutdown.

Denny Hamlin poses with the championship trophy after winning NASCAR's biggest race, the Daytona 500, in February at the famed Florida racetrack. "There will be a huge microscope on how we're doing things," 2020 Daytona 500 winner Denny Hamlin said."For all of us, it's just the unknown of making sure we're doing it the right way."

The PGA Tour's event plan includes temperature monitoring, virus tests for those above 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit and quarantines for those testing positive to keep events in a secure bubble, much the same strategy the NBA, MLB, MLS and NHL are studying. "I'm pretty excited to do a small part to raise some money and some awareness in these challenging times.""Hopefully it's safe enough to move forward," Fowler said."We want to make sure it's safe enough and make sure our country and the states on their own are doing well enough to continue moving forward."NASCAR's return comes at Darlington, a 70-year-old oval in rural South Carolina nicknamed"The Track Too Tough To Tame".

Social distancing measures will be in place, and if rescue workers need to help drivers out of vehicles after crashes both will have protection to contain potential virus transmission.
