The PGA Tour has announced a "super season" of 50 events in 2020-21, including six majors and the Olympic Games.

The US Open and the Masters will be played in September and November respectively in 2020 as well as on their traditional dates in 2021, in addition to 11 other tournaments which were not rescheduled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The men's Olympic golf competition will take place from 29 July to 1 August at Kasumigaseki Country Club in Japan.

"We are excited to present the full 2020-21 PGA Tour schedule, a 'super season’ of 50 fully-sponsored events and capped off by the 15th edition of the FedEx Cup play-offs," PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan said at a press conference ahead of the Tour Championship in Atlanta.

"If you’re a golf fan, this is a dream season with more significant events than ever before, including the Olympic Games.

"Building our schedule is always complicated, but never more so as over the past several months as we continue to navigate challenges brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic.

"We appreciate the extensive collaboration with our title sponsors, tournament organisations and golf’s governing bodies that has brought us here, to the exciting conclusion of an extraordinary 2019-20 season this week, and on the brink of a season of 50 events, beginning next week."

The 2020-21 season begins next week with the Safeway Open, followed by the rescheduled US Open at Winged Foot.
