LPGA Tour returns to Asia for 2 events amid virus
Print Edition
The LPGA Tour is headed to Asia for an abbreviated two-event schedule in Singapore and Thailand for the first time in 18 months and minus several tournaments because of continuing concerns over COVID-19.
The HSBC Women’s World Championship begins tomorrow at Sentosa Golf Club in Singapore, followed by the May 6-9 Honda LPGA Thailand at Chonburi near Bangkok. A third tournament was scheduled in China — the Blue Bay LPGA on Hainan Island — but the LPGA canceled that event three weeks ago because of pandemic travel restrictions. The LPGA played two events in Australia in February 2020 — they were canceled this year — and was expected to head to Bangkok, Singapore and Blue Bay until the emergence of the coronavirus meant those tournaments and some 15 others were shelved. In Singapore, 69 players will tee off tomorrow in the no-cut event for the 13th edition of the tournament, including world No. 1 Ko Jin-young, No. 2 Park Inbee and defending champion from 2019 Park Sung-hyun, all of South Korea.
