[Golf Topic] Choi Kyung-ju Senior Debut Postponed "May Senior PGA Championship Canceled"

[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…'Tank' Choi Kyung-ju (50, SK Telecom, photo)'s senior tour debut has been postponed.

The PGA of America announced on the 3rd (Korean time) that "the Senior PGA Championship is canceled due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19)." The tournament was scheduled to be held for four days starting May 19 at the Harbor Shores Resort in Benton Harbor, Michigan. This decision was made following the Michigan state government's stay-at-home order. The PGA of America explained, "Regrettably, we respect the health authorities' judgment that public health is the top priority."

Choi Kyung-ju, who holds a PGA Tour card, will be eligible to play on the senior tour starting in May. He had planned to debut on the senior tour at the season's first major, the PGA Championship, but was hindered by the spread of COVID-19. The senior tour held five tournaments this year, but seven tournaments, including the canceled PGA Championship, were disrupted. Instead of postponing, the PGA Championship chose cancellation and plans to hold the 2022 tournament again at Harbor Shores Resort.
