The first women’s golf major championship of this year, the Evian Championship, scheduled from Aug. 6 to 9 in France, was canceled on Tuesday because of travel restrictions and governmental quarantine requirements related to the coronavirus pandemic, according to a statement from the L.P.G.A. Tour. The event will return to the women’s tour schedule in 2021.

The other four women’s majors remain on this year’s calendar, beginning with the Women’s British Open, which is set to begin Aug. 20 in Scotland, although travel constraints are a likely complication of hosting that event as well.
