MANILA, Philippines – While the US PGA Tour is set to return to action next week after a three-month break, the local version of pro golf may have to wait a little longer before it could resume play. “The PGT (Philippine Golf Tour) said that we have to wait for the vaccine before we could ever play again,” said two-time PGT winner Michael Bibat. The organizing Pilipinas Golf Tournaments, Inc. has been in constant talks with various golf clubs as to the possibility of resuming operations following the easing up of quarantine restrictions in the country. It’s been tough for us (pros) the last three months but we’re still hoping for the best,” said four-time Philippine Golf Tour Order of Merit winner Tony Lascuña. However, experts say new vaccines typically take years to earn approval with authorities expecting a coronavirus vaccine to be ready by mid of next year.
