The return of pro golf on an annual basis in St. Louis will be postponed for one year.
The Ascension Charity Classic presented by Emerson, a new stop on the PGA Tour Champions, was canceled this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The inaugural edition of the tournament, which will be played at the Norwood Hills Country Club, will be held in 2021.
The tournament was scheduled for October 2-4, with events in the previous week. The tournament and surrounding events will now be played from 6 to 12 September 2021.
“While we are disappointed that we have not been able to bring professional golf back to St. Louis this year, we are confident this decision is the right one for St. Louis County and the communities we serve,” said Nick Ragone. , chief marketing and communications officer for Ascension.
Although St. Louis has had events like the PGA Championship in Bellerive, it hasn’t had a regular stop on any of the professional tours since 2001.
