Blue Bay LPGA’s event in China was canceled again. On Tuesday night, the LPGA issued a statement stating that the event, which was scheduled to take place on March 9-12, on Hainan Island in China, had been cancelled due to ongoing COVID-19-related matters.
This tournament featured a $2.1million purse and was the last leg of a three event Asian swing. It followed events in Thailand, Singapore, and Thailand. Since October 2019, the LPGA has not hosted a tournament at China. Last year’s Blue Bay LPGA tournament was held in 2018.
The LPGA released a 2023 schedule last November. It included a total prize pool of $101.4 million, 33 official events, and two Chinese-based events. The Buick LPGA Shanghai is the second event. It will take place Oct. 13-15.
