Due to the Summer Olympics in Japan, they'll drop from 39 to 37 tournaments next year:
The Century 21 and Hokkaido Meiji Cup events were dropped. The contract with Century 21 expired, so they'll have to be replaced in 2021. Two tourneys were boosted to a record ¥240,000,000 and the Resort Trust Ladies was upped to ¥100,000,000 after being extended from three rounds to four.

Nothing official yet regarding the KLPGA in 2021. It doesn't look they'll be playing in Taiwan again in January ... nothing on the TLPGA website. A news article says they may play in Singapore in July or August. Due to corporate acquisition activity, it's possible that the Asiana Airlines Open might be moved to Korea from that crazy Weihai Point GC in China. The Lotte season opener will probably be moved to the 2nd week in April to get better weather.

Like LPGA, they won't play many tournaments this year, if any at all.

Like LPGA, they won't play many tournaments this year, if any at all. There is some positive news coming out of the Land of the Rising Sun. They lifted the last of the emergency advisories in the country, and with the proper physical distancing guidelines in place things are starting to open up again. This includes Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB), which announced that they plan to launch the season on 19 June, behind closed doors initially and with a slightly shorter schedule than planned, 120 as opposed to 143 games with no interleague play or all star games. The resumption of preseason will be next week. The J League (soccer) is expected to announce their plans later this week.www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2020/05/25/baseball/japanese-baseball/npb-can-play-ball-june-19-stadiums-will-emptyKevin
