The PGA Tour has announced its 2020-21 season, one that the tour is calling a “superseason” due to the fact that a whopping 50 events will be played during the campaign. That’s the most events on tour since 1975, when the tour fielded 51 events.
Among the highlights of the season will be six major championships, including two U.S. Opens and two Masters tournaments. The tour season will culminate with the FedEx Cup playoffs, ending with the Tour Championship on Labor Day weekend, 2021.
