We’re they not tested before getting on plane? Why is this tourney even happening?

Pres Trump made MLK day a national holiday. The Dems would never do that because its about Religion. And Religion and LGBT dont mix and the Dem choose LGBT. Very sick to choose those people over GOD fearing people.

And none of them tested positive and were disallowed on the flight prior to boarding and landing in Australia because....? COVID19 BallsUp AustralianOpen

Are any players sick?

The tournament should be held virtual just like Miss Earth 2020 🤣.

Impossible! US regularly disseminates fallacy that Covid-19 is 'hoax'. Not even 387k + dead Americans can unravel that lie!

The world is tired of the many ideologies and formulas of a good life. The most complete model of life is written and in the Quran. If you think the Qur'an is not the word of God,bring a surah equal to it If you think there is no God, think Fatima

This is asinine; this virus will reach everyone, and 98%+ will be just fine. Can we cut the drama?

Well done Australia for protecting your citizens as much as possible.

What is the point?

هههه كدب كله كدب

Travelling together on a chartered jet doesn’t seem so wise now.

Australia all but had this thing licked. What are you thinking even allowing this to take place this year?
