HONG KONG – A golf tournament scheduled for next month in Hong Kong is the latest casualty of the city’s long summer of political unrest, joining scrapped events from an annual fireworks display to a Matilda musical and a college fair.
PGA Tour Series-China canceled the Clearwater Bay Open to be held on October17-20 due to “safety concerns,” according to a statement on the organizer’s website. The series season will conclude in Macau, it said.
“We have analyzed this situation from every angle, and as a group we determined that canceling the 2019 Clearwater Bay Open is the best decision,” PGA Tour Series-China’s Executive Director Greg Carlson said in the statement yesterday.
