The UK Championship, known as the ISPS Handa UK Championship for sponsorship reasons,[1] was a professional golf tournament which was held 27–30 August 2020 at The Belfry, in Wishaw, Warwickshire, England.
The tournament was intended to be a one-off event and was the final leg of a six-week "UK swing" on the European Tour during the 2020 season. The UK swing was created as part of sweeping changes to the tour's schedule due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] [3]
Brendan Lawlor received a sponsor's invitation into the tournament and made history as he became the first disabled golfer to play in a European Tour event.[4]
Rasmus Højgaard won the event, defeating Justin Walters in a playoff to claim his second European Tour win.[5]
