April 6: What to Watch in Sports This Week When There Are No Sports This Week

Monday was supposed to be a big day in the sports calendar. The NCAA men's basketball national championship game was scheduled to take place in Atlanta. And elsewhere in Georgia, Monday was to be the start of Masters Week in Augusta, where Tiger Woods was to return and defend his remarkable win from 2019. Alas, there will be no such events, but sports networks are making sure to fill the void with replays of classics from each of those tournaments.
