Amateur events called off

Two more international tournaments for amateurs have been canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The International Golf Federation says the World Amateur Team Championships for men and women — scheduled over two weeks in October in Singapore — have been scratched. The tournament dates to 1958. It was moved in February from China’s Hong Kong because of protests. The World Amateur Team is held every other year. The IGF decided not to postpone it until 2021 because of the effect it would create with scheduling problems. It next will be played in France in 2022. Also, the R&A says it has delayed until next year the inaugural Women’s Amateur Latin America Championship. It was scheduled for September 3-6 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It now is scheduled for September 2-5 in 2021.
