The LPGA is postponing its next three events, including the ANA Inspiration, the year’s first major championship, due to the COVID-19 threat.
The tour announced today that the Volvik Founders Cup in Phoenix next week, the Kia Classic outside San Diego (March 26-29) and the ANA Inspiration in Rancho Mirage, California (April 2-5) will not be played as scheduled, with the intent of playing them later in 2020.
The LPGA is adhering to a state of California directive that non-essential gatherings be limited to no more than 250 people. The directive was issued Wednesday.
“This is a difficult situation and as we navigate these uncertain times, we appreciate the support of all those involved with the LPGA,” tour commissioner Mike Whan said.
