LocaliQ Series

The LocaliQ Series, stylized as the LOCALiQ Series, is a one-off professional golf tour played in 2020 and organised by the PGA Tour.

The eight tournament series was announced following the cancellation of much of the PGA Tour's global development tours due the COVID-19 pandemic.[1][2] The tour is aimed at players who would have qualified to play on PGA Tour Canada, PGA Tour Latinoamérica and PGA Tour China in 2020,[3] with places also available to players on the second-tier Korn Ferry Tour and sponsor invites.[4]

The seven regular tournaments on the circuit will be contested over 54 holes of stroke play with 144 competitors, a cut line of 55 plus ties, and a minimum prize fund of $100,000.[2] The series finale will be a limited-field event over 72 holes with the winner and the two leaders in the overall series points standings being awarded sponsor exemptions into a tournament on the PGA Tour in 2021.[3][5]

The series will be factored into the Official World Golf Ranking, with four points for 54-hole events and six for the 72-hole championship.
