PGA TOUR announces expanded schedule for 2019-20 season

The PGA TOUR will have an expanded 2019-20 season schedule of 49 FedExCup tournaments, featuring a dramatically changed opening segment that includes two new tournaments, plus several late-season adjustments to accommodate next year’s Olympic Games in Tokyo.

Eleven of the 46 Regular Season events will be between September-November, including new tournaments in The Zozo Championship in Japan and the Bermuda Championship, plus the return of A Military Tribute at the Greenbrier.

"AdamAnd following a one-year hiatus, the Houston Open returns on 7-13 October at Humble, Texas.

“After a very successful first year with our new schedule, we are thrilled to expand the number of events to 49 while maintaining a great flow from start-to-finish, allowing our fans to better engage and follow the TOUR throughout the season,” said PGA TOUR Commissioner Jay Monahan.

“For the second year, we’re excited about kicking off the Season of Championships with The Players (Championship) in March, bookended by the FedExCup Playoffs in August, and the return of the Olympics in that window.

“As for the early season portion of the schedule, our players grasp the importance of a strong start in the Race for the FedExCup and this has translated into growth and momentum for the events played in the fall.”

Later in the season, the TOUR will have an open week during the men’s Olympic competition (27 July-2 August) before resuming with the Wyndham Championship and three FedExCup Playoffs events.

Several changes also have been made leading up to the Olympics, most notably: the Rocket Mortgage Classic in Detroit moving one month earlier to late May; and the World Golf Championships-FedEx St. Jude Invitational and Barracuda Championship shifting from late July to the first week of the month, exchanging dates with the 3M Open in Blaine, Minnesota.

With the PGA TOUR season now ending in August at the Tour Championship, the 2019-20 season will open the week of 9-15 September A Military Tribute at the Greenbrier.

Several new or familiar venues are included during the US summer, beginning with the PGA Championship visiting TPC Harding Park in San Francisco, the U.S. Open returning to Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, New York, and The Open Championship going to Royal St. George’s Golf Club in Sandwich, England.

Additionally, The Northern Trust will be held for the first time in the Boston market at TPC Boston in Norton, Massachusetts, while the BMW Championship will visit Olympia Fields Country Club in suburban Chicago.
