亚巡赛周五宣布,在利雅德国际机场遭致命袭击后,其赛季收官战沙特国际赛无限期推迟,该赛事原定于下月在利雅德举行。
The Asian Tour postponed its season-ending Saudi International indefinitely on Friday in the aftermath of a deadly attack on the international airport in Riyadh, where the tournament was scheduled to take place next month.
也门胡塞运动一直向沙特机场、港口和石油设施发射弹道导弹和无人机,包括上周末对首都的袭击,造成至少12人死亡、300多人受伤。
Yemen's Houthi movement has been firing ballistic missiles and drones at Saudi airports, ports and oil installations, including last weekend's attack on the capital that killed at least 12 people and wounded more than 300.
亚巡赛的一份声明称:“推迟的决定是在对举办赛事并确保活动达到与其国际地位相称的标准所面临的组织和后勤挑战进行评估后作出的。”
"The decision to postpone was taken following an assessment of the organisational and logistical challenges associated with hosting the tournament and ensuring the event is delivered to a standard befitting its international stature," an Asian Tour statement said.
这项由沙特公共投资基金(PIF)赞助的500万美元旗舰赛事,原定于11月18日至21日在利雅德高尔夫俱乐部举行。
The $5 million flagship event, which is sponsored by the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF), was scheduled to take place at Riyadh Golf Club from November 18 to 21.
亚巡赛专员乔·明·桑称:“PIF沙特国际赛是亚巡赛赛历上最重要的赛事之一,我们期待未来看到选手们在利雅德比赛。”
"The PIF Saudi International is one of the most important events on the Asian Tour calendar and we look forward to seeing our players compete in Riyadh in the future," Asian Tour Commissioner Cho Minn Thant said.
