Virus-hit Asian Tour to restart in September after six-month gapAustralia's Wade Ormsby, seen here winning the Hong Kong Open in January, is the current Asian Tour Order of Merit leader. HONG KONG: The Asian Tour announced on Sunday plans to restart its 2020 golf season with three tournaments in September as coronavirus travel restrictions begin to ease across the world's most populous continent. "We are targeting between 10 to 12 events from September to December," Asian Tour Commissioner and CEO Cho Minn Thant told AFP, with the tour calendar almost certainly extending into the new year before transitioning into the 2021 season. "We are targeting a conservative restart in September because of the current predicament with restrictions on air travel and large gatherings," Cho said. Australia's Wade Ormsby, who won the Hong Kong Open in January, leads the fledgling 2020 Order of Merit but only four tournaments have been completed.
