Junior golf: What does the summer tournament schedule look like after coronavirus?

Many junior golf tours and events have had to adjust both their schedules and operating procedures in light of the coronavirus pandemic.

The summer golf schedule certainly looks different than it did at the start of the 2020 season. Many tours have had to adjust both their schedules and their operating procedures in light of the coronavirus pandemic. Many other events have fallen off the schedule completely, such as the U.S. Junior and U.S. Girls’ Junior.

As school lets out this month, juniors would normally be doubling down on their summer competition. Using a list of previously ranked events in our Golfweek Junior Rankings database, we compiled updates for the summer junior golf calendar. News and information for this list can be emailed to Julie Williams at jwilliams@golfweek.com.
