# 2020 Nordic Golf League

## In-season changes

The season started with four events in Spain, and was later suspended in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 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.
