The opening tournament of the season, the Hong Kong Open, was originally to be played from 28 November – 1 December 2019 as part of the 2019 season and co-sanctioned with the European Tour. Due to protest violence, the tournament was rescheduled to January 2020 without European Tour co-sanctioning.[2][3] Several events were postponed or cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
