‘As important as golf is to all of us, public health and well-being is the absolute priority. That will remain the case as we continue to monitor this rapidly evolving global pandemic over the coming weeks, working with the World Health Organisation and each national government and their public health agencies to ensure we have the latest advice to inform all our decision-making,’ Pelly said.
A total of seven events across the European Tour have been postponed or cancelled so far this year as a result.
‘While we are unable to bring you any live action during these unprecedented times, over the coming weeks, social media will undoubtedly play an even more important role in keeping people entertained and connected.
‘We will therefore do our best to continue to provide you with engaging content via europeantour.com and our social media channels, including archive footage.’
