I've downloaded Go fromhttps://golang.org/dl/go1.15.5.linux-amd64.tar.gz and have been unable to reproduce your results.

shasum -a 256 ./go1.15.5.linux-amd64.tar.gz

Where did you retrieve your file from?

I was able to reproduce your findings with @seankhliao comment. I'm going to close this issue since it is not an issue with the Go project. Please feel free to open it again if you believe otherwise.
