European Tour's Alfred Dunhill Links pro-am canceled but will return in 2021

With pre-tournament pro-ams on hold as golf makes its way through the global pandemic, it makes sense that a pro-am tournament would likewise be set aside.

The European Tour's Alfred Dunhill Links Championship will not take place in 2020.

The event, which was scheduled for Oct. 1-4 and which takes place at St. Andrews, Carnoustie and Kingsbarns, will return in 2021.

Tournament officials released a statement explaining the decision, that said in part: “We commend the Scottish Government in their resolute response to the pandemic. We do not wish to undermine their efforts or cause any undue risk to the communities that normally host us.
