Season tees off tomorrow
Print Edition
The 2020 golf season, so far on hold due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, will see its first major get under way tomorrow when South Korea hosts the Korea Ladies Professional Golf Association Championship. The 42nd KLPGA Championship will be the tour’s first event since December, and will be played at the Lakewood Country Club in Yangju without fans. “The priority is the safety of the players, tournament officials and golf fans and (the event) will be broadcast,” organizers said in a statement. “KLPGA will enforce strict prevention measures rising to the level of ‘social distancing’ for its players and officials during the tournament.” Organizers said equipment, from hand sanitizers to quarantine tents, will be prepared, with contact-tracing protocols also in place. Players such as Kim Sei-young, Park Sung-hyun, Lee Bo Mi, Lee Jeong-eun and defending champion Choi Hye-jin are among the 150 golfers set to compete, with a total of 30 billion Korean won (US$24.5 million) in prize money on offer.
