SEOUL - Leading professional golfers will return to competitive action for the first time in months after the coronavirus shutdown when three of the world's top 10 women tee off in South Korea on Thursday .

South Korea - which endured one of the worst early outbreaks of the disease outside mainland China - has brought Covid-19 under control with a widespread"trace, test and treat" model and has begun to resume professional sport. They had returned after the LPGA season was suspended in February because of the pandemic following the Australian Open, which was won by another Korean, the world number 11 Park In-bee.

Players will be required to wear masks before and after play and can opt to don one during their round, where they will have to keep a minimum of two metres from their competitors.
