The ATP has been heavily criticised for their approach after not joining the WTA in suspending tournaments in China amid continued concern for Peng Shuai.
The WTA said it was particularly concerned about risks players and staff could face if it went ahead with events in China.
An ATP statement said the body believes “having a global presence gives us the best chance of creating opportunity and making an impact”.
35-year-old Peng vanished from public view for three weeks after accusing a top Chinese official of sexual assault.
On Wednesday, the WTA halted tournaments in China, one of its most valuable markets, citing concerns over Peng’s safety.
The International Olympic Committee later said it held a second video call with Peng but also shared concerns for her safety.
There had been calls for the men’s ATP Tour to adopt a similar approach to the WTA, but after a statement released on Thursday, it stopped short of postponing tournaments.
The International Tennis Federation, the sport’s governing body, also stated that it would “continue to support all efforts” to address Peng’s allegations.
