LPGA event in Shanghai canceled for third year due to ongoing COVID-19 restrictions
The LPGA’s fall Asian swing will be one tournament short as the LPGA has confirmed that the 2022 Buick LPGA Shanghai has been canceled due to ongoing COVID-19-related restrictions.
Danielle Kang won the last Buick LPGA Shanghai event held in 2019.
“We thank SAIC-GM Buick, the China Golf Association, the CLPGA and IMG for all their efforts,” the tour released in a statement, “and hope to compete in front of our fans at Qizhong Garden Golf Club in the future.”
The tour’s fall Asian swing will begin in late October with the BMW Ladies Championship in South Korea at a course that has yet to be announced. It will continue on to Taiwan and Japan before returning to Florida for the last two events.
The LPGA is currently in the midst of a two-week break following the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, won by In Gee Chun. The next event, the Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational, will be held July 13-16 in Midland, Michigan.
