European Tour to return in July with UK Swing

The European Tour will resume on July 22 with a run of six tournaments over six weeks in the UK.

The calendar has been wiped out since March 8 due to the coronavirus pandemic but a return date has now been set, with the British Masters at Close House near Newcastle the opening tournament in July.

That will be followed by the English Open at Marriott Forest of Arden in Birmingham from July 30 to August 2 before the English Championship at Marriott Hanbury Manor in Hertfordshire from August 6 to 9.

The Celtic Classic and the Wales Open will take place in successive weeks at Celtic Manor before the UK Championship at The Belfry on August 27-30.

Meanwhile, the Aberdeen Standard Investments Scottish Open will take place at The Renaissance Club in North Berwick from October 8 to 11.

Three other Rolex Series events – the BMW PGA Championship, Nedbank Golf Challenge and the DP World Tour Championship – have also been announced.

European Tour chief executive Keith Pelley said: “Since the suspension of our 2020 season in early March, we have taken a measured approach in reassessing our schedule, informed every step of the way by our medical advisers and Government guidance.

“We have consistently said that safety is our absolute priority and that is why today we are announcing our resumption in two months’ time supported by a comprehensive health strategy which has been led by our medical team.

“Without question we have had to think differently about the remainder of our 2020 season which is reflected in today’s announcement.

“As golf’s global tour, diversity is ordinarily one of our biggest strengths, but in this instance it has become one of our biggest challenges.

“Initially, therefore, based on the expert guidance we received, playing in clusters, in one territory, is the best option in terms of testing, travel and accommodation.”
