Lexi Thompson, Danielle Kang skipping Evian major 08 Jul 2021, 09:40 GMT+10 Five of the top 20 players in the world rankings, including Lexi Thompson and Danielle Kang, will not play in the Evian Championship, the fourth major of the LPGA Tour season. The Evian, played annually in France at a resort of the same name, is scheduled for July 22-25. This year's tour schedule packs in two majors (the Evian and the Women's Open at Carnoustie) and the Tokyo Olympics in the span of a month, July 22 to Aug. 22. The deadline to commit to the event was Tuesday, according to Golfweek, and Kang and Thompson do not appear in the official field list. They have not publicly said why; however, Kang and Thompson are two of the four women who'll compete at the Olympics for Team USA, so the tight schedule may have factored into their decision.
