[Golf Topic] LPGA Tour "No Spectators Until the End of August~"

[Asia Economy Reporter Nowrae Noh] ○…The U.S. Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Tour will be held without spectators until the end of August.

On the 17th (Korean time), the LPGA Tour announced, "No spectators will be allowed at the Marathon Classic, which opens on August 6 in Sylvania, Ohio." This measure was taken due to concerns over the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). The Marathon Classic had planned to allow up to 2,000 gallery attendees per day, but ultimately could not invite golf fans. The LPGA Tour has been suspended since the Australian Women's Open in February due to COVID-19.

The season will resume with the Drive On Championship, starting on the 31st in Toledo, Ohio. This tournament will also be held without spectators. After the Marathon Classic, the tour will move to the United Kingdom. The Scottish Open and the major British Women's Open will be held without spectators on August 13 and 20, respectively. The Walmart NW Arkansas Championship, held on August 28 in Rogers, Arkansas, has not yet decided whether spectators will be allowed.
