(Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae) ○…The US Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) tour will allow spectators no earlier than September.
On the 24th (Korean time), the LPGA Tour announced that the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship (total prize money of $2.3 million), which opens on the 28th of next month at the Pinnacle Golf Club in Rogers, Arkansas, will be held without spectators. The tour was suspended due to the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) following the Australian Women’s Open in February, and the 2020 season will resume with the Drive On Championship at Inverness Golf Club in Toledo, Ohio, on the 31st of this month.
With the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship taking place without spectators, five consecutive tournaments will be played without galleries. Last year, world number 3 Park Sung-hyun (27) won this tournament. The next tournament is the big ANA Inspiration, which will be held on September 10 in Rancho Mirage, California. Next are the Cambia Portland Classic, the Kia Classic, the ShopRite Classic and the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.
