The U.S. Women's Professional Golf (LPGA) Tour has allowed caddies to use carts at the major ANA Inspiration. On the 4th (Korean time), it was announced, "Since temperatures during this year's tournament are forecasted to rise above 40 degrees Celsius, carts will be allowed for the safety of players and caddies," adding, "Instead of the traditional caddie jumpsuit, only vests will be worn." Caddies are permitted to use push carts that can carry caddie bags.

Players may use carts with their caddies during practice rounds but must walk during the tournament. The event, usually held in late March or early April, was postponed to September 10 this year due to the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19). The LPGA Tour stated, "The tournament will be held without spectators, about 100 trees on the course have been removed," and "Grandstands near the greens of the 1st and 18th holes will not be erected," signaling changes to the venue.
