The Hawaiian Airlines Diamond Head Classic is canceled for 2020 due to ongoing concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The eight-team tournament was originally scheduled for December 22, 23 and 25 at the Stan Sheriff Center in Honolulu. However, there were unconfirmed plans to move the tournament to a “bubble” environment in Orlando, Florida, for 2020, possibly in early- or mid-December.
The Diamond Head Classic was one of eight non-conference tournaments that ESPN was attempting to move to Orlando. Concerns about testing protocols and other COVID-related guidelines appeared to be a difficult hurdle to clear for all the teams involved.
