The two Rolex Series events have moved to October as a way of dealing with the Coronavirus pandemic.
Scottish Open and BMW PGA Championship Moved To October
The following week the European Tour's flagship event, the BMW PGA Championship, will take place at Wentworth Golf Club. The tournament was due to take place in mid-September but will take up a new slot in 2020 from the 15th to the 18th of October. This will compete with the CJ Cup @ Nine Bridges on the PGA Tour.
In a brilliant event in 2019, Englishman Danny Willett held the trophy aloft come Sunday after seeing off the challenges of Jon Rahm, Christiaan Bezuidenhout and many more top players.
The other two Rolex Series events mentioned above will take place in consecutive weeks in December.
European Tour chief executive Keith Pelley said;
“I also want to pay tribute to Rolex, BMW, Aberdeen Standard Investments, the Scottish Government, Nedbank, Sun International and DP World, for their continued commitment to the European Tour which allowed us to move four hugely important tournaments on the European Tour into new dates later in the year.
“Not only did they show flexibility, they also showed understanding of the current global situation and we are truly fortunate to have them as partners of the European Tour.”
