Tournament results

The table below shows the 2020 schedule for the early part of the year.[1]

The number in brackets after each winner's name is the number of Asian Tour events he had won up to and including that tournament. This information is only shown for Asian Tour members.

The opening tournament of the season, the Hong Kong Open, was originally to be played from 28 November – 1 December 2019 as part of the 2019 season and co-sanctioned with the European Tour. Due to protest violence, the tournament was rescheduled to January 2020 without European Tour co-sanctioning.[2][3] Several events were postponed or cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
