[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○..."Two seasons combined."


The PGA Champions Tour will operate by combining the 2020 and 2021 seasons due to the global outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). On the 15th (Korean time), the Champions Tour announced, "We have decided to merge the 2020 and 2021 seasons into one," adding, "Accordingly, the Charles Schwab Cup champion will be determined in November 2021." The Champions Tour is a senior tournament for players aged 50 and above.



Originally, 27 tournaments were scheduled for this year alone, but 8 events have already been canceled due to COVID-19. Five tournaments were completed normally by early March. The Champions Tour schedule is expected to resume no earlier than the end of July. Due to the disrupted schedule, the Charles Schwab Cup Championship, which decides the season winner, will be held in November next year. Choi Kyung-ju (SK Telecom), who turns 50 this month, will make his Champions Tour debut this year.
