On June 29, 2020, it was announced that Fox had withdrawn from its contract to carry USGA tournaments, and had sold the remaining seven years of the contract to NBC Sports through 2027. It was reported that the rescheduling of the majors caused by the COVID-19 pandemic was a factor in the decision (Fox had reportedly proposed moving the 2020 U.S. Open exclusively to FS1 to overcome conflicts with weekend college football and the NFL), and that Fox had originally discussed working with NBC before negotiating the withdrawal instead. The first event televised under the new contract was the 2020 U.S. Women's Amateur.
