The PGA Tour announced on the 2nd (Korean time), "The HSBC Champions, which was scheduled to be held in Shanghai, China for four days starting October 29, has been canceled," adding, "We made efforts with other tours, international organizations, and the Chinese government to hold the event normally, but it could not be held."

The CJ Cup, which was to open on October 15 in Jeju Island, has moved its venue to Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, and the Zozo Championship, which was to start on October 22 in Japan, will be held in Thousand Oaks, California, USA.
