For the first time since the PGA Tour announced a stop to its season back on March 13, tournament golf will be resuming this week.

Both the PGA Tour and the Korn Ferry Tour will resume their 2019-2020 seasons beginning on Thursday, marking the end to the 91-day layoff. The PGA Tour resumes its season on Thursday at the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial, while the Korn Ferry Tour will be playing the newly created Korn Ferry Challenge at TPC Sawgrass on the Dye's Valley Course.

The Tour has already announced that no fans will be allowed on the course for the first four events back which are the CSC, the RBC Heritage, The Travelers Championship, and the Rocket Mortgage Classic. The first event with fans permitted will be the Memorial Tournament held at Murfield Village July 16-19.

The 91-day layoff that the Tour has had due to the coronavirus pandemic is the longest unscheduled break from competition since World War II. During that time, the Tour experienced a 105-day that went from September 3, 1943 to December 17, 1943.
