Asian Tour’s restart delayed

Golf's Taiwan Masters was cancelled Wednesday because of the coronavirus pandemic, casting doubt over the planned September resumption of the Asian Tour season. The long-standing, $950,000 tournament was scheduled to tee off at the Taiwan Golf and Country Club from September 17-20.

The tournament was scrapped because of health concerns and travel restrictions on players living outside Taiwan, the tour announced in a statement.

The Asian Tour, which has been suspended since American Trevor Simsby won the Malaysia Open on March 7, still hopes to return at the $1.181 million Shinhan Donghae Open from September 10-13 in South Korea.
