The European Tour announced that next week’s Porsche European Open in Germany will be moved to Saturday, June 5 through Monday, June 7, becoming a 54-hole tournament from a traditional 72 holes.
The tournament, which will be played at Green Eagle Golf Courses in Hamburg, Germany, was moved because the German government put the United Kingdom on its travel ‘red list’ last week due to COVID-19.
“The significant travel changes announced last week meant it was simply impossible for us to start the Porsche European Open as intended a week today without unacceptably damaging the field and the integrity of the tournament," European Tour chief executive Keith Pelley said in a statement.
