Tournament­s called off

-

Golf: Golf Australia has aborted plans to reschedule the summer's premier three events, reluctantl­y cancelling the Australian PGA Championsh­ip, Australian Open and Women's Australian Open scheduled for February.

A raft of measures were considered — including players entering a hub and competing while serving a strict quarantine period, as well as restrictin­g crowd numbers and movement — but no options were viable.

The impact of Covid19, most notably in assembling internatio­nal fields and ensuring the safety of players, spectators and officials, has forced the decision. — AAP
