[Asia Economy Reporter Nowrae Noh] ○…The United States Golf Association (USGA) has canceled all scheduled men’s and women’s amateur tournaments in July.

On the 26th (Korean time), the Golf Channel reported that "USGA canceled the US Girls Junior and US Junior tournaments due to concerns over the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19)." The US Girls Junior was scheduled to be held from July 13 to 18, and the US Junior from July 20 to 25. USGA had already canceled the US Amateur Four-Ball and US Women’s Amateur Four-Ball in March, as well as the US Senior Open and US Senior Women’s Open in April.

USGA stated, "The most important factor when deciding on tournaments is the safety and well-being of everyone," adding, "While it is disappointing to cancel these two tournaments, we believe it is the right decision." USGA has postponed the US Women’s Amateur, US Amateur, US Women’s Mid-Amateur, US Mid-Amateur, US Senior Amateur, and US Senior Women’s Amateur to August and September. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all professional tournaments for both men and women, as well as amateur events, have been suspended in the United States.
