The LPGA announced Sunday night it has canceled two more tour events this year because of health concerns and recent advisories related to the coronavirus in some Asian countries.
The two tournaments are the Honda LPGA Thailand, which had been scheduled for Pattaya from Feb. 20-23, and the HSBC Women’s World Championship in Singapore Feb. 27-March 1. The LPGA last month canceled its Blue Bay event, scheduled for March 5-8 on Hainan Island.
“The health and safety of our players, fans and everyone working on the event is always our highest priority,” the LPGA said in a statement Sunday. “While we are disappointed that these tournaments will not take place this season, we look forward to returning to Asia soon.”
CNN reported Monday morning that the death toll from the coronavirus has reached 910, with the numbers of confirmed cases worldwide at over 40,000.
Due to the continued health concerns and recent advisories surrounding the coronavirus in some Asian countries, the LPGA and its partners have made the decision to cancel the 2020 Honda LPGA Thailand and the 2020 HSBC Women’s World Championship in Singapore.
