The 2020 LPGA Tour is the 71st edition of the LPGA Tour, a series of professional golf tournaments for elite female golfers from around the world. The season begins at the Four Season Golf Club in Lake Buena Vista, Florida on January 16 and ends on November 22 at the Tiburón Golf Club in Naples, Florida.[1] The tournaments are sanctioned by the United States-based Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA).

Schedule and results[edit]

The number in parentheses after each winners' name is the player's total number of wins in official money individual events on the LPGA Tour, including that event. Tournament and winner names in bold indicate LPGA majors.

The 2020 Blue Bay tournament, scheduled to be held on Hainan Island, China, was canceled by the LPGA in January 2020 after concerns relating to the coronavirus pandemic.[2] The Honda LPGA Thailand and HSBC Women's World Championship (Singapore) were also canceled due to the outbreak.[3]
