The two prestigious events had already been postponed in their original dates in June due to the ongoing threat posed by the coronavirus.
But hopes they can still be played have been boosted by the R&A confirming an updated 2020 schedule for amateur events and international matches.
The Women’s Amateur Championship has been rescheduled to 25-29 August at Kilmarnock (Barassie) while the Amateur Championship has been slotted in for 25-30 August at Royal Birkdale and West Lancashire.
"These plans are dependent on the situation with the COVID-19 pandemic and we will continue to follow the guidance from the UK Government, health authorities and our own medical consultants," said the R&A in a press release.
