Mackenzie Tour cancels 2020 season because of COVID-19 restrictions Globe_Sports

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.The Mackenzie Tour, Canada’s men’s professional golf circuit, has cancelled its season.

A stepping stone to the top-tier PGA Tour, the Mackenzie Tour had to end its 2020 season before it even began because of border restrictions, mandatory quarantines for those entering Canada and gathering restrictions in all provinces because of COVID-19. The 2020 season was set to be the Mackenzie Tour’s eighth, with 13 scheduled tournaments — the most in the third-tier circuit’s history.“We had built a lot of momentum coming into this season, and we were excited to continue making a positive impact in the communities where we play, while also providing opportunities for our players to progress to the PGA Tour,” said executive director Scott Pritchard.

Players had already been informed of how a potential cancellation would affect them for the 2021 season. Status for prior members will be based on Order of Merit results from the 2019 season, with the top-60 players exempt. Meanwhile, players who earned status at the three completed 2020 qualifying tournaments will retain status for the 2021 season, and qualifying tournament entrants yet to compete will be guaranteed spots at a 2021 qualifying site.

BobWeeksTSN sports is dead, or at best severely compromised, for next 2 seasons given how trying to restart current seasons (NHL for example) compromises the next season. I like sports, lived & worked off it, but don't miss it, fully respect who do, & leagues by necessity for trying. but... BobWeeksTSN Sad that this has happened. 14 events should be the record for the PGA tour Canada. That was done in 1998 and 1999. Those years the tour flowed from the west to the east coast.
