The Hong Kong Open golf tournament has been postponed after violence from anti-government protests escalated this week, the Asian Tour and European Tour said on Wednesday.

"Regretfully the European Tour, in conjunction with our tournament co-sanctioning partner at the Asian Tour, has taken the decision to postpone next week's Hong Kong Open, scheduled for the Hong Kong Golf Club, Fanling from November 28 to December 1," they said in a joint statement.

"An attempt will be made to reschedule the tournament to early 2020."
