[Asia Economy Reporter Noo Rae] ○…The Korea Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) Tour will hold two consecutive tournaments without spectators.

On the 20th, the KLPGA Tour Secretariat announced, "The third tournament of the 2020 season, the E1 Charity Open (total prize money of 800 million KRW), will be held without spectators." To prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), spectator admission will not be allowed following the 42nd KLPGA Championship, which ended on the 17th. The event will take place over four days starting on the 28th at South Springs Golf Club in Icheon, Gyeonggi Province. Last year, Lim Eun-bin (23, All For You) won her first career victory after a playoff battle.

In the KLPGA Tour, only the season opener, the Hyosung Championship held in Vietnam last December, allowed gallery admission. Since then, due to the impact of COVID-19, the Taiwan Ladies Open, Lotte Rent-a-Car Ladies Open, Celltrion Queens Masters, Nexen Saint Nine Masters, Kyochon Honey Ladies Open, NH Investment & Securities Ladies Championship, and Doosan Match Play Championship were all consecutively canceled. Last week, the KLPGA Championship was successfully completed as the first tournament held among global tours.
