An announcement gave by Franck Riboud, executive of The Evian Championship, stated: “The progressing vulnerability concerning the opening of outskirts, specifically with Asia and the USA, represents a significant hazard to the association of an opposition, which is under about two months, needs to invite 120 players from around the globe and from more than 30 countries. Even if in France limitations concerning outside open occasions appear to be bit by bit facilitating, the LPGA and The Evian Championship’s arranging advisory group need to perceive that the conditions for a protected and loosened up occasion that satisfies the hopes of general society, players, coordinators, and their accomplices are not set up. On this, as the wearing schedule doesn’t consider a rescheduling of the date (which was at that point delayed half a month prior from July to August), the competition will be played in July 2021.”

Mr. Riboud included: “We have sat tight for whatever length of time that authoritative issues permit to settle on this choice with Mike Whan and the LPGA.
