The LPGA has canceled the remaining two events from this month’s Asian Swing amid coronavirus concerns.
Less than two weeks after removing its March 3-5 event in China, the Blue Bay LPGA, from the schedule, the LPGA announced Sunday evening that the Honda LPGA Thailand (Feb. 20-23) and HSBC Women’s World Championship (Feb. 27-March 1) in Singapore also will not take place this year, citing “continued health concerns and recent advisories in some Asian countries that large-scale events should be cancelled or postponed.”
“It is always a difficult decision to cancel events and the LPGA greatly appreciates the understanding and all the efforts made by our title sponsors (Honda and HSBC) as well as IMG to host incredible events for our players,” the LPGA said in a statement.
