The '''2019 T-1 British Open Championship''' will be the 55th {{wp|T-1 British Open Championship}}, held July 11-14 at {{wp|Royal Porthcawl Golf Club}} in {{wp|Porthcawl, Wales, UK}}. It is the first time the course has hosted the championship. It will be the third {{wp|major}} of the T-1 Tour season.  
The '''2020 T-1 Players Championship''' is the 3rd edition of the {{wp|T-1 Players}} and was originally scheduled as the first of the {{wp|T-1 Tour}}'s four major championships to be held in 2020. Originally scheduled for April 2–5 at {{wp|Baltusrol Golf Club}} in {{wp|Springfield, New Jersey}}, the tournament was postponed due to the ongoing {{wp|COVID-19 pandemic}}. On May 27, the T-1 Golf Federation announced the tournament would be held June 25–28.
 
The first two years of the championship gained much attention from spectators and golf writers, who credit the event as the most prestigious on the T-1 Golf Tour, due to its large purse and consistently difficult venue choices. As of 2019, the T-1 Players Tournament has been named the {{wp|flagship}} event by the {{wp|T-1 Golf Federation}}, overtaking the {{wp|U.S. T-1 Open}}, which held the status since 1985.
 
Defending champion {{wp|Benvolio Pagòn}} is expected to make his 5th T-1 Tour major start. In those starts, he has accumulated one win and four top-25s. {{wp|2018 T-1 Players Championship|2018 champion}} {{wp|David Duval}} will also be in the field.

Lengths of the course for previous major championships:
The course, naturally a par 71 for championship play, will be shortened to a par 70, which is T-1GF major championship tradition. The par-5 6th hole will be shortened to a par-4, playing at 515 yards, the longest par-4 on the golf course for the tournament.
{{col-begin}}{{col-break}}
 
*{{convert|7392|yd}}, par 70 - {{wp|2005 PGA Championship}}
On July 9, 2019, due to abnormal dry spots on the course, the T-1 Golf Federation announced the immense shortening of the par-5 18th, from 504 yards to 437 yards. Along with that change, the Federation also shortened the par-5 13th, from 531 yards to 486 yards. With the changes, the course will play at a total of 6,789 yards, the shortest since 1985. Fair weather conditions are also expected, and the course is expected to yield abnormally low scores.

'''7. Top 60 in points at the end of the T-1 Capital One Open'''  
The 2020 T-1 Players Championship got underway in the morning hours of June 25, 2020. In the morning wave, scoring conditions were favorable for players to shoot low, and many did. As the day progressed, conditions toughened up, still heeding low scores for the day. {{wp|2019 T-1 Players Championship|2019 T-1 Players}} champion {{wp|Benvolio Pagón}} shot an opening round 67, good enough for a tie for fifth going into the second round. {{wp|David Duval}}, the {{wp|2018 T-1 Players Championship|inaugural T-1 Players}} champion, who closed out the 2018 event with a stunning 12-under 58, shot a 73, putting him in a tie for 96th at +3, failing to take advantage of the relatively forgiving scoring conditions. 19-time T-1 major champion {{wp|Trey Cranfield}} also failed to go low, settling for a 2-over 72, putting him in a tie for 88th place. {{wp|Marcus Smart}} and {{wp|Alexander Pierce}} set the pace for round one, both firing 5-under 65's. Neither Smart nor Pierce have ever held the lead in a T-1 major championship event. Pierce won the 2019 {{wp|T-1 McDonald's Open}} with a score of 262 (−26).

The second day of the tournament continued to yield low scores. {{wp|Mike Weir}} of {{wp|Canada}}, the {{wp|2003 Masters Tournament|2003 Masters}} champion, carded the championship low round of 62 to jolt into the solo lead at 11-under par. Weir's 36-hole score of 129 is the lowest in championship history, surpassing {{wp|Noram Lower}}'s 135 in {{wp|2019 T-1 Players Championship|2019}}. Round one co-leader {{wp|Alexander Pierce}} continued his solid play, shooting a 4-under 66 to give him second alone at 9-under (131), two behind Weir headed into moving day. In a tie for third, {{wp|2017 T-1 Augusta Invitational|2017 Augusta Invitational}} champion {{wp|Syo Yin Yee}} carded a 64 in the second round to backup an opening 68. Joining him were {{wp|Nicholas Patterson}} and {{wp|Darrell Pollard}}, neither of whom have held a position in the top 10 of a T-1 event after 54 holes. Patterson is playing in his second T-1 major, his first resulting in a DQ in the {{wp|2016 T-1 British Open}}. The other co-leader for round one, {{wp|Marcus Smart}} settled for a 2-under 68, landing him in a tie for 6th place headed into Saturday. {{wp|2017 U.S. T-1 Open}} champion {{wp|Cole Carllsson}} also found himself in the mix after firing a 5-under 65 in the second round, his best score in the second round of a major in his career. Defending champion {{wp|Benvolio Pagón}} shot a 1-under 69 on Friday, which dropped him from joint fifth to a tie for 16th place. 2018 champion {{wp|David Duval}} would fail to get any momentum before the weekend, settling for a missed cut and a tie for 99th place. He shot a 143 (+3). 19-time major champion {{wp|Trey Cranfield}} settled for the same score as Duval, and missed his 5th consecutive cut in a T-1 major event.

===Round 3===
''Saturday July 13, 2019''
''Saturday June 27, 2020''


The third round of the tournament commenced around 9 am EST. As players made their way out onto the course, scoring was considered to favor low scores for moving day charges. {{wp|Alexander Pierce}} shot the lowest round of his T-1 career with a 6-under 64, giving him a three shot cushion headed into the final round of the championship. It is the first time Pierce has held a 54-hole lead in his T-1 career. {{wp|Marcus Smart}}, who held the co-lead with Pierce after the first round, shot a 5-under 65, to give himself a reasonable chance at catching Pierce on Sunday. 36-hole leader {{wp|Mike Weir}} was stationary most of the day, making 14 consecutive pars, starting at hole 2 and concluding on 16. He made a bogey at the first hole, and two closing birdies to finish with a 1-under 69, which wouldn't be enough to hold on to his lead as players continued to go low. {{wp|Blake Stone}} tied Weir's second round 62 on Saturday, jolting him from the back of the pack to within striking distance. In total, 63 players were in red figures at the conclusion of the third round, the most in tournament history.

The 2020 T-1 Players Championship is the 3rd edition of the T-1 Players and was originally scheduled as the first of the T-1 Tour's four major championships to be held in 2020. Originally scheduled for April 2–5 at Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield, New Jersey, the tournament was postponed due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. On May 27, the T-1 Golf Federation announced the tournament would be held June 25–28.

The first two years of the championship gained much attention from spectators and golf writers, who credit the event as the most prestigious on the T-1 Golf Tour, due to its large purse and consistently difficult venue choices. As of 2019, the T-1 Players Tournament has been named the flagship event by the T-1 Golf Federation, overtaking the U.S. T-1 Open, which held the status since 1985.

Defending champion Benvolio Pagòn is expected to make his 5th T-1 Tour major start. In those starts, he has accumulated one win and four top-25s. 2018 champion David Duval will also be in the field.

Round Summaries

Round 1

Thursday June 25, 2020

The 2020 T-1 Players Championship got underway in the morning hours of June 25, 2020. In the morning wave, scoring conditions were favorable for players to shoot low, and many did. As the day progressed, conditions toughened up, still heeding low scores for the day. 2019 T-1 Players champion Benvolio Pagón shot an opening round 67, good enough for a tie for fifth going into the second round. David Duval, the inaugural T-1 Players champion, who closed out the 2018 event with a stunning 12-under 58, shot a 73, putting him in a tie for 96th at +3, failing to take advantage of the relatively forgiving scoring conditions. 19-time T-1 major champion Trey Cranfield also failed to go low, settling for a 2-over 72, putting him in a tie for 88th place. Marcus Smart and Alexander Pierce set the pace for round one, both firing 5-under 65's. Neither Smart nor Pierce have ever held the lead in a T-1 major championship event. Pierce won the 2019 T-1 McDonald's Open with a score of 262 (−26).

Round 2

Friday June 26, 2020

The second day of the tournament continued to yield low scores. Mike Weir of Canada, the 2003 Masters champion, carded the championship low round of 62 to jolt into the solo lead at 11-under par. Weir's 36-hole score of 129 is the lowest in championship history, surpassing Noram Lower's 135 in 2019. Round one co-leader Alexander Pierce continued his solid play, shooting a 4-under 66 to give him second alone at 9-under (131), two behind Weir headed into moving day. In a tie for third, 2017 Augusta Invitational champion Syo Yin Yee carded a 64 in the second round to backup an opening 68. Joining him were Nicholas Patterson and Darrell Pollard, neither of whom have held a position in the top 10 of a T-1 event after 54 holes. Patterson is playing in his second T-1 major, his first resulting in a DQ in the 2016 T-1 British Open. The other co-leader for round one, Marcus Smart settled for a 2-under 68, landing him in a tie for 6th place headed into Saturday. 2017 U.S. T-1 Open champion Cole Carllsson also found himself in the mix after firing a 5-under 65 in the second round, his best score in the second round of a major in his career. Defending champion Benvolio Pagón shot a 1-under 69 on Friday, which dropped him from joint fifth to a tie for 16th place. 2018 champion David Duval would fail to get any momentum before the weekend, settling for a missed cut and a tie for 99th place. He shot a 143 (+3). 19-time major champion Trey Cranfield settled for the same score as Duval, and missed his 5th consecutive cut in a T-1 major event.

Round 3

Saturday June 27, 2020

The third round of the tournament commenced around 9 am EST. As players made their way out onto the course, scoring was considered to favor low scores for moving day charges. Alexander Pierce shot the lowest round of his T-1 career with a 6-under 64, giving him a three shot cushion headed into the final round of the championship. It is the first time Pierce has held a 54-hole lead in his T-1 career. Marcus Smart, who held the co-lead with Pierce after the first round, shot a 5-under 65, to give himself a reasonable chance at catching Pierce on Sunday. 36-hole leader Mike Weir was stationary most of the day, making 14 consecutive pars, starting at hole 2 and concluding on 16. He made a bogey at the first hole, and two closing birdies to finish with a 1-under 69, which wouldn't be enough to hold on to his lead as players continued to go low. Blake Stone tied Weir's second round 62 on Saturday, jolting him from the back of the pack to within striking distance. In total, 63 players were in red figures at the conclusion of the third round, the most in tournament history.
