The PGA Tour Series-China has been cancelled in 2021 amid uncertainty over the coronavirus situation in Asia.

The PGA Tour claimed the situation in Asia was "not showing significant improvement".

The organisation said officials attempted to find a way to play events in China, but determined that the obstacles are too difficult to overcome.

"We remain committed to the region and want to do everything we can to give competitive opportunities for players in Asia and from the Pacific Rim," said Greg Carlson, PGA Tour Series-China executive director.

"We are trying to pursue other opportunities for our players to play in 2021.

"We will also take this pause and evaluate what we might be able to do in 2022."
