In-season changes
In early March, the tour's four remaining qualifying tournaments were postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] On April 16, it was announced that the first six tournaments would also be postponed.[2] On May 29, the tour announced the cancellation of the entire season.[3]
With the cancellation of the season, the PGA Tour created an eight tournament LocaliQ Series based in the United States in which tour members, along with members of those of the suspended 2020 PGA Tour Latinoamérica and the canceled 2020 PGA Tour China seasons, would be eligible to compete.[4] In addition, four tournaments, the Canada Life Series, were played in Canada in August and September to provide Canadian-based players some playing opportunities.[5]
