The European Tour had already included the tournament in the schedule of the 2020 second half.
The Open was to go on at the same time with the US Masters at Augusta USA.
The 2020 Magical Kenya Open golf tournament, which had been re-scheduled for November 12 to 15 at Karen Country Club after being postponed in March because of the Covid-19 pandemic, has now been cancelled altogether until 2021.
The decision to cancel the Kenya Open, sponsored and presented by Absa Kenya, was made after a consultation between the Kenya Open Golf Limited and the European Tour who jointly made the announcement on Thursday.
