The Blue Bay LPGA event in China has been canceled once again. The LPGA released a statement on Tuesday evening, noting that the event, scheduled for March 9-12 on Hainan Island, had been canceled due to “ongoing COVID-19 related matters.”
The tournament, which featured a $2.1 million purse, was slated to be the final leg of a three-tournament Asian swing following events in Thailand and Singapore. The LPGA hasn’t hosted a tournament in China since October 2019. The most recent Blue Bay LPGA event was last held in the fall of 2018.
Last November, the LPGA announced a 2023 schedule that included a total prize fund of $101.4 million and 33 official events, including two in China. The second event, the Buick LPGA Shanghai, is scheduled for Oct. 13-15.
