Greensburg’s Rocco Mediate will be part of a combined 2020-21 PGA Tour Champions season.

The PGA Tour Champions, which already has canceled eight tournaments because of the covid-19 pandemic, decided to combine 2020 and 2021 into one season.

Tour president Miller Brady says combining two seasons into one is the best solution.

The 50-and-older circuit, on which Greensburg’s Rocco Mediate plays, is scheduled to resume with the Ally Challenge on July 31 in Michigan. That would be the first of 13 events remaining this year, barring any delays. The PGA Tour Champions already has lost two majors, the U.S. Senior Open and the Senior PGA Championship, and is waiting to hear the fate of the Senior British Open.

Because of the combined seasons, the postseason events will have 81-player fields, and a Charles Schwab Cup champion will not be decided until 2021.

The tour will announce the 2021 schedule later this year.
