LPGA Tour Commissioner Mike Whan said he felt "pretty sure" the Women's British Open could go ahead in August despite France's Evian Championship becoming the first women's golf major to be lost to the Covid-19 pandemic. The British Open at Troon in Scotland is due to be played from 20-23 August, with players arriving in Britain for the Scottish Open, co-sanctioned with the Ladies European Tour, in North Berwick a week earlier. The Evian Championship, one of five women's majors, had already been rescheduled from 23-26 July to 6-9 August. We had a lot of different formats being discussed: small footprints, no fans, minimal impact," Whan said on a video posted on the LPGA Tour website. The European Tour has announced a six-event "UK Swing" to begin with the British Masters on 22 July, and the Asian Tour is planning to restart in September.
