As per the announcement, 14 events will be held in the Season right up to Tour Championships ending on September 7 besides 13 FedExCup events, including the star-studded Hero World Challenge headlined by Tiger Woods.

"The health and safety of all associated with the PGA TOUR and our global community continues to be our No. 1 priority, and our hope is to play a role responsibly in the world's return to enjoying the things we love," said PGA TOUR Commissioner Jay Monahan.

"Today's announcement is another positive step for our fans and players as we look toward the future, but as we've stressed on several occasions, we will resume competition only when working closely with our tournaments, partners and communities it is considered safe to do so under the guidance of the leading public health authorities."
