(Reuters) - The CP
Women's Open will not be played in Canada for a second
consecutive year due to logistical challenges and continued
border restrictions related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic,
the LPGA Tour said on Wednesday.
Among the factors that led to the cancellation of the Aug. 23-29
event at Vancouver's Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club, the
uncertainty around travel restrictions and quarantine
requirements made it most difficult to move forward.
The decision comes after Golf Canada had worked with local,
provincial, and federal government health officials towards a
health operation plan for the event.
Shaughnessy, which was also supposed to host the event last
year, will host the 2023 edition of the tournament, which will
mark the sixth time the province of British Columbia has hosted
Canada's Women's Open Championship.
The 2022 CP Women's Open is scheduled to be held in Ottawa.
