The LPGA, perhaps more than any other sporting organization in the world, was hammered by COVID-19 in 2020, starting with three tournaments that were canceled in Asia before any sports were canceled in the United States. The LPGA knows there is big money for women’s golf in Asia, but that reliance on Asian money and sponsors has continued to be a problem in 2021. More tournaments have been canceled because of the pandemic, and Asian sponsors like All Nippon Airways were hurt badly by the pandemic and that in turn has hurt the women’s tour. 2022 can’t come soon enough for the LPGA in that regard.
