[Golf Topic] European Tour "Closed Until July"

[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…The European Tour's suspension will continue until the end of July.

This is due to the impact of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19). On the 21st (Korean time), the European Tour office announced, "We have canceled two major tournaments: the BMW International Open (June 25?28) and the French Open (July 2?5)." The Scottish Open, scheduled for July 9?12, has been postponed indefinitely, and the 'greatest major,' The Open, which was to begin on July 16, was canceled early last month. As a result, the European Tour will not hold any tournaments in July.

The British Masters (July 30?August 2) is the next tournament, but its hosting is expected to be difficult. The BMW International Open and the French Open were canceled following the health authorities' assessment that the COVID-19 situation in Germany and France is unlikely to improve soon. The German government extended the ban on gatherings through August 31, and French health authorities also prohibited events with a certain number of people or more until mid-July.
