The Forme Tour was a men's professional golf tour played in the United States. The tour was created by the PGA Tour in 2021 in response to COVID-19 pandemic related restrictions on travel between the United States and Canada, in order to provide competition for non-Canadian PGA Tour Canada members, with entry also available through a series seven of Q-School events. Eight tournaments were initially announced, to be held between June and September. The tournaments offered Official World Golf Ranking points, and the top five players on the points list at the end of the season gained Korn Ferry Tour membership for the 2022 season.[1][2]
The tour was sponsored by Forme, a clothing company.
A separate tour, the 2021 PGA Tour Canada, was run for Canadian-based professionals. This tour also consisted of eight events.[3]
The schedule consisted of eight tournaments; four sets of back-to-back events played on successive weeks, finishing on either a Friday or a Saturday.
