The 2020 Nordic Golf League is the 22nd season of the Nordic Golf League, a third-tier tour recognised by the European Tour.
The season started with four events in Spain, and was later suspended in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] After the hiatus, the schedule was subject to change and several tournaments were postponed, cancelled or due to travel restrictions, became unofficial events for Order of Merit ranking purposed.
The tour announced in July that only the top three players (rather than the traditional five) on the final Order of Merit would receive Challenge Tour status for the 2021 season.[2]
