The 2020β21 PGA Tour was the 106th season of the PGA Tour, the main professional golf tour in the United States. It was also the 53rd season since separating from the PGA of America, and the 15th edition of the FedEx Cup.
Because of rescheduling during the 2019β20 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, six major championships occurred during the timeframe of the 2020β21 season, with two editions of both the U.S. Open and Masters Tournament, as well as the 2020 Summer Olympics. As such, the PGA Tour marketed this season as a "super season". [1]
As a result of changes made due to COVID-19 pandemic, there were several changes to membership criteria for the 2020β21 season:
Three of the major championships, the first two FedEx Cup playoff events and the RBC Canadian Open are routinely played at a different host course each year. For several other tournaments with regular host courses, there was also a change in venue for the 2020β21 season, some of them temporary.
The following table lists official events during the 2020β21 season. [18] [19] [12]

Tiger Woods finished ahead of Phil Mickelson to win the PIP rankings for 2021. [34] The rankings were based upon Google searches; social media reach; TV broadcast appearances; global media mentions and familiarity of a player's "brand". As winner, he received $8m. Second place received $6m, 3rd to 6th received $3.5m, and 7th to 10th received $3m. [35]
Rahm led the tour in scoring (earning the Vardon Trophy in the process)...
