2020 PGA Tour Canada
The 2020 PGA Tour Canada, title sponsored as the Mackenzie Tour – PGA Tour Canada, was scheduled to be the 51st season of the PGA Tour Canada, commonly known as the Canadian Tour. It would have been the eighth season under the operation of the PGA Tour and the final year of the initial six year sponsorship deal with Mackenzie Investments.[1]
In early March, the tour's four remaining qualifying tournaments were postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] On April 16, it was announced that the first six tournaments would also be postponed.[3] On May 29, the tour announced the cancellation of the entire season.[4]
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 those of the suspended 2020 PGA Tour Latinoamérica and cancelled 2020 PGA Tour China, would be eligible to compete.[5]
All regular season events have a purse of $200,000 except and the final event of the season, the Canada Life Championship, has a purse of $225,000.
