The PGA EuroPro Tour has cancelled its entire 2020 season, along with its Q-School tournaments, as a result of the coronavirus outbreak.
"With the recent developments of Covid-19, the PGA EuroPro Tour and Matchroom Sport have decided to cancel the 2020 schedule and season," said the PGA EuroPro Tour's CEO Dan Godding.
"This incorporates all events and Q School. All memberships and Q School entries will be refunded.
"We will be looking at the possibility of organising some events later in the year once the threat of the Coronavirus has been subsided, however, in the meantime, there are no plans for golf in 2020.
"Please keep a close eye on www.EuroProTour.com for any developments. Our thoughts are with everybody affected by the Covid-19 outbreak at this difficult time."
The GolfCatcher PGA EuroPro Tour is Europe’s leading development tour, and the European Tour’s satellite in the UK and Ireland.
Offering direct access to the Challenge Tour through the final Order of Merit, the PGA EuroPro Tour players were supposed to be competing this year for more than £850,000 of prize money, with the top five golfers at the end of the season being awarded a category on the 2021 Challenge Tour.
The PGA EuroPro Tour, which is backed by Sky Sports Golf with a regular two-hour highlights show, provides Europe’s best up-and-coming golfers the chance to gain the necessary experience of life on tour.
It has also played a pivotal part in the early careers of some of the biggest names in golf.
