The 2020–21 PGA Tour of Australasia, titled as the 2020–21 ISPS Handa PGA Tour of Australasia for sponsorship reasons, was the 47th season on the PGA Tour of Australasia, the main professional golf tour in Australia and New Zealand since it was formed in 1973.
The season was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic with several tournaments being postponed or cancelled. In response, the tour announced that the season would be extended through to March 2021, with subsequent seasons being seasonal rather than calendar based.[1]
