2021 PGA Tour Canada

The 2021 PGA Tour Canada, title sponsored as the Mackenzie Tour – PGA Tour Canada, and commonly known as the Canadian Tour, was a series of professional golf tournaments to be held in Canada during 2021. Eight tournaments were announced in June 2021 with total prize money of C$700,000. Players were not be able to earn promotion to the Korn Ferry Tour.[1][2]

In response to COVID-19 pandemic related restrictions on travel between the United States and Canada, the Forme Tour was created by the PGA Tour in 2021 in order to provide competition for non-Canadian PGA Tour Canada members. The tour consists of eight tournaments in the United States, to be held between June and September. The tournaments offer Official World Golf Ranking points, and the top five players in the Order of Merit at the end of the season will gain Korn Ferry Tour membership for the 2021–22 season.[3][4]
