the PGA Tour is planning to stage an eight-event fall series for players on international tours in order to help them recuperate some starts that have been lost due to the coronavirus pandemic. The Tour made the official announcement last week, revealing the LOCALiQ Series name and detailing the specifics for the events.
“We couldn’t be more pleased to make this announcement,” said PGA Tour Senior Vice President of International Tours, Rob Ohno. “To be able to provide this series and these quality playing opportunities is very gratifying.”
Purses for each event will be $100,000 and each winner will take home $16,000. The series starts the first week of August with three events in Georgia before moving on to Alabama and Florida to close out the series.
Incentives in addition to prize money includes PGA Tour starts as the top two points earners and the winner of the finale event will receive sponsors invites into a to-be-announced event on the 2021 schedule.
