Jay Monahan PGA Tour Commissioner

[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…The U.S. Professional Golfers' Association (PGA) Tour will resume the 2020 season from mid-June.

The PGA Tour office officially announced on the 16th (Korean time) the remaining schedule, including the resumption of the season, which was suspended since March starting with The Players Championship, known as the "fifth major," after a three-month hiatus from mid-June. The Charles Schwab Challenge, originally scheduled to open on May 21, will start three weeks later on June 11, and the Canadian Open, which was supposed to be held during this period, has been canceled. Following that are the RBC Heritage (June 18?21) and the Travelers Championship (June 25?28).

The first four weeks will be held without spectators. The Memorial Tournament will take place on July 16, and the World Golf Championships (WGC series) FedEx St. Jude Invitational will be held on July 30. The Wyndham Championship, which concludes the regular season, will be held over four days starting August 13. After that, the three playoff (PO) events will be held in sequence: the Northern Trust (August 20?23), the BMW Championship (August 27?30), and the Tour Championship (September 3?7).

The 2020/2021 season will kick off with the Safeway Open on September 10, just three days after the 2019/2020 season ended on September 7. The only PGA Tour event in Korea, The CJ Cup, will be held from October 15. Due to the impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), the schedules of the major tournaments have been disrupted. The Masters, originally scheduled for April, has been postponed to November 12; the PGA Championship to August 6; and the U.S. Open to September 17. The Open Championship, the oldest major held in July, has been canceled altogether.
