The 2019/20 PGA TOUR schedule has been released with the season expanding to include 49 FedEx Cup events—three more than the current season.
There are some significant changes to the calendar as the PGA TOUR moves regular tournaments to accommodate the 2020 Olympic Games which will be held in Tokyo in July and August.
The season-ending FedEx Cup Series will be held after the Summer Games and will conclude in September with the traditional Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club as the PGA champion is crowned.
The new season kicks off on September 12 this year with the A Military Tribute at the Greenbrier getting the honour of being the curtain raiser having been absent this season as part of a previous rejigging of the calendar.
It is joined in the opening three months of the season by two new tournaments—the Zozo Championship in Japan in October during an Asian swing, and the Bermuda Championship which follows in November.
The Houston Open is also back on the PGA TOUR after a one-year absence like the Greenbrier, with the event now taking place in October.
Both events were not staged in the 2018/19 season due to the moving of the PGA Championship to May, but will be popular events during the early part of the campaign prior to Christmas.
Other changes to the calendar including the Rocket Mortgage Classic at Detroit Golf Club moving forward a month to May and the WGC St Jude Invitational and Barracuda Championship shifting to early July from the end of the month. The 3M Open swaps places.
The four majors will once again be held across consecutive months with the Masters at Augusta in April, the PGA Championship at TPC Harding Park in May, the US Open at Winged Foot in June and the Open Championship at Royal St George’s in July.
The Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield Country Club brings the regular season to a close before the three FedExCup Playoffs begin with the Northern Trust Championship at TPC Boston and the BMW Championship at Olympia Fields before the Tour Championship.
“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 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.”
