The 2020 BNP Paribas Open, the year's first Premier Mandatory event, will not be held at this time due to health concerns.

The tournament announced on Sunday on social media that the year's first Premier Mandatory event will not start the week of March 9th after a coronavirus (COVID-19) case was detected locally.

The event made the decision after following the guidance of medical professionals in an effort to keep participants and attendees safe.
