Surrey [UK], February 10 (ANI): The DP World Tour earlier known as European Tour today confirmed the cancellation of the 2022 Indian Open and the postponement of this season's China Open due to ongoing restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

After being postponed from its original scheduled date of February 17 -20, it had been hoped to reschedule the Indian Open later this spring but it will now not take place in 2022. The Indian Golf Union remains fully committed to the tournament, and along with the DP World Tour, are planning for it to return to the Tour's schedule in 2023.
