The 2020–21 Korn Ferry Tour was the 31st season of the Korn Ferry Tour, the official development tour to the PGA Tour.

In-season changes

Originally scheduled to run from January 12 to August 30, it was announced in early May 2020 that due to disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic that the in-progress and on-hold 2020 season would be merged with the planned 2021 season.^[1]

With the season having been extended through 2021, there were no graduates to the PGA Tour for the 2020–21 season. However the leading 10 players in the Korn Ferry Tour points standings through the 2020 Korn Ferry Tour Championship were granted exemptions to play in four alternate events on the PGA Tour during 2021.^[2]
