The 2020 Swedish Golf Tour, titled as the 2020 MoreGolf Mastercard Tour for sponsorship reasons, was the 37th season of the Swedish Golf Tour, the main professional golf tour in Sweden since it was formed in 1984, with most tournaments being incorporated into the Nordic Golf League since 1999.
MoreGolf Mastercard title sponsorship
[edit]In March, it was announced that the tour had signed a title sponsorship agreement with MoreGolf Mastercard, being renamed as the MoreGolf Mastercard Tour.[1]
In-season changes
[edit]The 2020 schedule initially consisted of 26 tournaments, 16 of them, in Sweden, Norway, Finland and Spain, included in the 2020 schedule. After a four-month break and rescheduling, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 SGT schedule included 12 tournaments, two of them played in Spain in February and March, the remaining 10 in Sweden. Due to travel restrictions, four tournaments was taken away from the 2020 Nordic Golf League Order of Merit Golfbox Road to Europe, but was still counted on the 2020 MoreGolf Mastercard Tour and still earned OWGR points.[2]
