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
move forward with a competition-only event this year.”
Events coinciding with tournament week have also been cancelled, including:
• Old National Bank Golf Gives Back Charity Program
• Tri-State Orthopaedic Varsity Shootout
The Tropicana Evansville Pro-Am scheduled for Tuesday, August 25, will go on as scheduled.
Participants will use individual carts and social distancing measures will be in place to ensure the safety
of all involved.
The Korn Ferry Tour Championship presented by United Leasing & Finance will be aired live on the Golf
Channel at the following times:
Thursday, August 27th: Noon-2 PM CT | Friday, August 28th: Noon-2 PM CT
Saturday, August 29th: 2-4 PM CT | Sunday, August 30th: 2-4 PM CT
Jack Pate, Chairperson of the Board, Golf Gives Back added, “We remain extremely excited to host an
event that will allow us to showcase our community to the world. We look forward to brighter days and
welcoming our sponsors, spectators and partners back in 2021 for an event that will be better than ever.”
