Evansville, IN – The Korn Ferry Tour Championship presented by United Leasing & Finance announced

today that the 2020 event will be contested without spectators due to concerns relating to the COVID-19

pandemic. The decision was made by the Golf Gives Back Board in conjunction with the PGA TOUR.

“It is with great sadness that we must announce, after months of careful planning and consideration, the

2020 Korn Ferry Tour Championship presented by United Leasing & Finance will be contested August

27-30 without general spectators or hospitality guests onsite at Victoria National,” said Laureen Cates,

Korn Ferry Tour Championship Tournament Director. “The tournament has been dedicated to charitable

giving in the region for more than eight years. However, we feel that it is our social responsibility to
