The organisers of the one million-dollar Thailand Open have reportedly cancelled the event because of the increasing political crisis in the divided kingdom where martial law was declared recently.
The OneAsia tournament was meant to have taken place at Bangkok's Thana City Golf and Sports Club in March but was postponed after a 60-day state of emergency was declared in the capital.
According to Sport24, President of the Thailand Golf Association (TGA) Rungsrid Luxsitanonda said in a statement that although the event was due to be rescheduled, they want to hold the tournament when everything is stable, with hopes it will return to the calendar next year.
Thailand's army imposed martial law to quell unrest across the country, which has been shaken by deadly violence since anti-government demonstrations erupted six months ago, the report added.
