The 2020 PGA Tour will resume on Thursday with the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth in Texas.

The tournament marks the PGA Tour's return to competition after a 12-week hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The 91-day gap - which started following the cancellation of The Players Championship - represents the longest unscheduled break from PGA Tour competition since World War II.
