LOS ANGELES, May 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Monkey Knife Fight (MKF), North America's fastest growing fantasy sports site, found in a recent survey of 1,000 of its users, that the popularity of golf will soar both on viewership and participation in MKF prop contests should the PGA return for the Charles Schwab Challenge on June 11.
