Danielle Kang is a two-time defending champion at the Buick LPGA Shanghai event.

The LPGA Shanghai tournament has been cancelled because of health concerns and travel restrictions put in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the elite women's professional golf circuit said on Tuesday.

The event, called Buick LPGA Shanghai, was scheduled for October 15-18 at Qizhong Garden Golf Club.
