The 2021 Australian Open and the 2022 Women's Australian Open have been cancelled as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to play havoc with international travel plans.
Golf Australia announced the tough decision on Thursday, saying it would begin planning for a return of the two Opens in the 2022-23 summer of golf.
It's the second straight year Australia's flagship golf tournaments have been cancelled because of coronavirus.
This year's edition of the men's tournament - which has been won by the likes of Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Peter Thomson and Greg Norman - was first scheduled for November 25-28 at The Australian Golf Club in Sydney, then postponed until early in 2022.
The Women's Australian Open was set for Kooyonga Golf Club in Adelaide in February, 2022.

Cuck cowards.
The legend of Crocodile Dundee is dead.
Utter nonsense. I’m so over this overblown Covid hysteria, but it doesn’t look like it’s stopping any time soon. Hopefully the Covid Cult will someday realize how ridiculous it all was, but even then they’ll just claim it was better to be safe than sorry. Stupid.
Idealist idiots! Maybe just "15 more YEARS to flatten the curve."
Well, there goes a ton of money for the Australian economy.
Well, tie me kangaroo down, mate.
25 million people... 1,400 deaths due to COVID.
Meanwhile in freedom loving America we’re filling multiple 100K+ stadiums on a college football Saturday.
“Continued havoc of international travel plans”
Last I checked, international flights take off and land every day around the world.
I just called 800-CALL FBI and reported you as a domestic terrorist.Expect a knock at your door....at 2AM.
The Covid panic will be over when the Aussie “leaders” are hanging from posts Mussolini style—not one day before—could easily be talking a decade.
Golf is a racist rich white guy game with a couple of token people of color wandering the links like trustee slaves.
/s
Because being out in the open air and sunshine is so very dangerous.
I’ve been waiting for that knock for years! I was within 200 miles of D.C. on January 6... ;-)
Shut down and cancel *everything*, Australia, that’ll go well.
For those intrested in context and facts instead of Covidian hysteria

Interesting to note the pandemic death graph is following the exact same graph as last year
So all the lockdowns, mandatory vacs etc have accomplished NOTHING in Australia
Have you tried to visit a foreign country recently? We were in Canada last weekend...and to get in we had to download an app,complete it,show proof of vaccination *and* proof of a negative test done within 72 hours of arrival.
When we arrived at the border station (10AM,Niagara Falls) there was one other car...the station was deserted.
And IIRC Canada's policy toward US citizens is more lenient than for any other nationality.
Yes,flights are occurring...but I'll bet there are a lot fewer of them and they're not as full as they were in October 2019.
