The Masters has been postponed because of the coronavirus outbreak.

The first men's major championship of the year was due to begin on 9 April at Augusta National in Georgia.

Chairman of Augusta National Fred Ridley, said: "We hope this puts us in the best position to safely host the Masters Tournament and our amateur events at some later date."

It is the Masters' first postponement since World War II, which stopped the tournament in 1943, 1945 and 1946.

"Considering the latest information and expert analysis, we have decided at this time to postpone the Masters Tournament, the Augusta National Women's Amateur and the Drive, Chip and Putt National Finals," Ridley added in a statement.

"The health and well-being of everyone associated with these events and the citizens of the Augusta community led us to this decision.

"Unfortunately, the ever-increasing risks associated with the widespread coronavirus have led us to a decision that undoubtedly will be disappointing to many, although I am confident is appropriate under these unique circumstances.
