With the season remaining suspended, 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 cancelled 2020 PGA Tour Canada and 2020 PGA Tour China seasons, would be eligible to compete.[2]
On October 1, 2020, the tour announced that the season would resume in December and run through to July 2021.[3]
