SHANGHAI, China — The LPGA Tour said in a statement Wednesday that the Buick LPGA Shanghai tournament scheduled for mid-October has been canceled due to ongoing COVID-19 travel restrictions.
The tournament was scheduled for the Qizhong Garden Golf Club from Oct. 14-17.
There are two tournaments scheduled for the following weeks in Asia, the BMW Ladies Championship in Busan, South Korea from Oct. 21-24 and the TOTO Japan Classic in Otsu, Japan, from Nov. 4-7.
Another tournament scheduled for the week in between those two events, the Taiwan Swinging Skirts at Taipei, has already been canceled due to similar COVID-19 restrictions.
