Tour golf’s juggling act in the face of the coronavirus pandemic continued Friday with the LPGA and the Ladies European Tour moving the dates of the Evian Championship in France.
The women’s major championship will move back two weeks.
Originally scheduled for July 23-26, the Evian Championship is moving to Aug. 6-9, the week the Olympic women’s golf competition was scheduled to be played, before the Tokyo Games were postponed.
Evian will now be played the week before the Aberdeen Standard Investments Ladies Scottish Open.
“We greatly appreciate the willingness of Franck Riboud, Jacques Bungert and the team at the Evian Championship to move dates and align with our European swing,” LPGA commissioner Mike Whan said.
