The Federation of PGA Tours, HSBC and IMG, today announced that the World Golf Championships-HSBC Champions will not be played as scheduled in 2022.
The decision was made in conjunction with the China Golf Association due to ongoing COVID-19 related restrictions.
“We have worked with all Tours, as well as the China Golf Association, on the viability of hosting the WGC-HSBC Champions this fall, but unfortunately the logistical implications forced the difficult decision to cancel the event,” said PGA TOUR Senior Vice President, International, Christian Hardy. “We are thankful for HSBC’s partnership during these trying times as we continue to navigate the changing COVID-19 climate.”
The DP World Tour will later this month announce the addition of two European tournaments for the end of October, the first to take place from October 20-23 and the second from October 27-30 in the week vacated by the WGC-HSBC Champions.
