What had been speculated for some time was made official on Thursday morning when the PGA Tour announced that the Canadian championship will not be held in 2020.
“We were in daily dialogue and we looked at various scenarios optimistically,” said Laurence Applebaum, the CEO of Golf Canada. “The federal quarantine and the provincial and city regulations were just obstacles that were too big to overcome. It’s disappointing for our fans as we were building to a great event.”
The Canadian contingent was also deep, with Adam Hadwin, Corey Conners and Nick Taylor leading the way. Applebaum said Golf Canada is trying to find silver linings in the decision and staying in contact with everyone who is a part of the tournament. The tournament will have a different look. It’s one of the first four events on the new PGA Tour schedule that will be played without any fans.

BobWeeksTSN Re: the last paragraph of the article - so it is confirmed that next year's venue will be at St George? I hadn't heard anything official about it, but I know as of a few months ago there wasn't an official location yet for 2021 or 2022.
