Augusta National Golf Club is donating $2 million to aid coronavirus pandemic relief efforts.

"It is our hope these gifts will help address the many challenges brought about by the coronavirus throughout the city of Augusta and the greater region," club chairman Fred Ridley said (h/t ESPN's Bob Harig). "We believe Augusta National has an important responsibility to support and protect the community who has so generously and consistently supported us for many years."

Augusta National postponed the 2020 Masters earlier this month to limit the spread of COVID-19.
