The prestigious Indian Open golf tournament was on Wednesday postponed due to the global novel coronavirus outbreak with the organisers promising to reschedule the event at “some point” later this year.
The event was scheduled to take place from March 19-22 at the DLF Golf and Country Club here.
“The decision was made following consultation between the Indian Golf Union , the tournament’s co-sanctioning partners — the Asian Tour and the European Tour — and the tournament title sponsor Hero MotoCorp Ltd, after the latest public health travel advisories announced by the Indian government,” the Asian Tour said in a statement.
“All parties are looking into the possibility of rescheduling the tournament at some point later in the year, but there are no definitive plans at this stage,” read the statement from Asian Tour.
