Under the proviso that the Government and health advice surrounding the COVID-19 crisis allows for tournaments to proceed, the PGA TOUR hopes to play the first four events without crowds in attendance at which time the situation will be reviewed once again.

With 22 events already completed, the 2019/2020 PGA TOUR season will now consist of 36 events culminating with the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta from September 4-7.

The PGA TOUR also announced the revised Fall Series schedule of the 2020/2021 season that will begin with the Safeway Open from September 10 and feature 13 events including the US Open (September 17-20) and The Masters (November 12-15), the Mayakoba Classic and Hero World Challenge both set down for the week of December 3-6.

Marc Leishman (seventh), Cameron Smith (13th) and Adam Scott (20th) all sit within the top 20 on the FedEx Cup courtesy of their wins earlier in the year and will now be able to tentatively plot their schedules leading in to the Tour Championship.

It’s a jam-packed schedule and one PGA TOUR Commissioner Jay Monahan hopes will provide some normalcy and relief for the world providing the regulatory guidelines can be met.

“The health and safety of all associated with the PGA TOUR and our global community continues to be our No. 1 priority, and our hope is to play a role – responsibly – in the world’s return to enjoying the things we love,” Monahan said.

“Today’s announcement is another positive step for our fans and players as we look toward the future. But as we’ve stressed on several occasions, we will resume competition only when – working closely with our tournaments, partners and communities – it is considered safe to do so under the guidance of the leading public health authorities.”

Just six Korn Ferry Tour events had been completed at the time of the coronavirus shutdown and the Tour announced the postponement of the Evans Scholars Invitational (May 18-24), as well as the cancellation of the REX Hospital Open (May 25-31), BMW Charity Pro-Am presented by SYNNEX Corporation (June 1-7) and Live + Work in Maine Open (June 8-14).
