The Oman Open scheduled for March 4-7 on the European Tour has been postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic.
It is the first event of the 2021 golf season lost to the pandemic.
The tour says the decision was made “following an announcement by the Omani government that all gatherings, international functions and sporting events are to be stopped in the country with immediate effect.”
The tour says organizers are looking into the possibility of rescheduling the tournament but “there are no definitive plans at this stage.”
