Political strife in Bangkok has forced promoters to postpone one of Asia’s premier golf events.
The Thailand Open, which was scheduled to take place at Thana City Golf & Sports Club in mid March, has been victimized by a 60-day, government-imposed state of emergency.
“This is in the best interests of the players, spectators, sponsors,” said a spokesperson for World Sport Group, the event’s organizer.
The Thailand Open has been played since 1965, and this year it was to kick off Asia’s golf season. It’ll be rescheduled for a date later in 2014, presuming that anti-government protests in Thailand don’t take an even darker turn.
