The Hero Indian Open, scheduled for next week, will be postponed because of coronavirus concerns.
The event is co-sanctioned by the European and Asian tours. Both agreed, given travel advisories announced by the Indian government, to cancel the event with the hope of contesting it later in the year.
“In these difficult global circumstances, we fully understand and appreciate the recent restrictions introduced in respect of travel into India,” European Tour CEO Keith Pelley said in a statement. “As these new measures now prevent many members of both tours being able to play in the tournament, everyone involved in the staging of the Hero Indian Open felt it was the correct decision to postpone the tournament.
