Canadian Tour events in Mexico postponed

Golf Betting Lines

04/29/2009 - San Luis Potosi, MX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Canadian Tour has postponed the final two events on its Mexican Swing because of health issues in Mexico.

This week's scheduled stop for the San Luis Potosi Open will continue, but the following two events -- the Yucatan Country Club Classic and the Iberostar Riviera Maya Open -- will be rescheduled for later in the year.

An outbreak of swine flu has reportedly killed more than 100 people in the country and has forced the closure of schools, museums and other public places.

"With the heightened alerts in Mexico, we have taken the precaution of protecting the health and safety of our members," said Canadian Tour commissioner Richard Janes in a statement.

"The Iberostar Resort and the Merida airport will be shut down as a safeguard and the Canadian Tour is making the necessary arrangements with its travel partners to bring our players home.

"As it stands today, our players are in San Luis Potosi and the event will take place as scheduled with strict safety precautions in place. However, we are constantly monitoring the situation and will take the necessary steps should circumstances change."

The Tour played its first of four scheduled events in Mexico last week at the Mazatlan Mexican PGA.

Following this week's tournament, the Canadian Tour will now have a month-long hiatus as the next event won't take place until June 4.
