The Notre Dame Fighting Irish will book new airline tickets from Hawaii to Las Vegas in November. The Maui Invitational will now take place in Las Vegas from November 22nd to 24th. Due to the ongoing pandemic, travel restrictions and COVID-19 protocols in Hawaii, the change had to be made. With the 2020 pandemic, the Maui invitation was postponed to Asheville, North Carolina, although the invitation was not in Hawaii due to COVID-19 in previous years.
“I would like to thank the organizers KemperLesnik and their Vice President Tom Valdiserri for their patience and understanding over the past few weeks and months as we have jointly observed developments in the field of public health.
