As the fate of many sporting events — the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games chief among them — are up in the air, the International Sports Promotion Society plans to sponsor four golf tournaments by September.
The sports charity, also known as ISPS Handa, was founded by and is chaired by Japanese philanthropist Haruhisa Handa.
At the July 15 ISPS Handa and the Professional Golfers’ Association of Japan press conference in Shinjuku, Handa said, “I want to encourage professional golfers, revitalize the golf industry and win the battle against the coronavirus at the same time.”
