2020–21 Japan Golf Tour

The 2020–21 Japan Golf Tour is a series of professional golf tournaments organised by the Japan Golf Tour Organization.

The 2020 season was originally scheduled to be played from 16 January to 6 December 2020, and comprised 25 official money events, mostly in Japan. Other than the four majors, which are played outside Japan, there was one event in Singapore and one event in South Korea; the SMBC Singapore Open which is co-sanctioned by the Asian Tour, and the Shinhan Donghae Open which is co-sanctioned by the Asian Tour and the Korean Tour.

Most of the scheduled tournaments were cancelled during 2020 due to COVID-19 pandemic.[1] On 25 December 2020, the tour announced the schedule for 2021 and confirmed that it would be merged with the 2020 schedule to form the 2020–21 season.[2]
