PGA Tour Schedule 2026 - Full Tournament Calendar

The 2026 PGA Tour season opened at the Sony Open in Hawaii in January and ran through the FedExCup Playoffs in August, with the fall events carrying on into November. Signature events, four major championships and a Tour Championship with no head starts gave it shape. This guide covers the key events, dates, venues and winners, updated as of October 7, 2026, with the fall events still to come.

Season Structure

The PGA Tour season is broadly divided into three phases:

1. Regular season (January to August) - the bulk of the schedule, where players earn FedExCup points
2. FedExCup Playoffs (August) - a three-event series to determine the season champion
3. FedExCup Fall (September to November): players outside the top 50 keep their points and play for next season's status. The top 100 at the end of the fall are exempt for full-field events; 101 to 125 get conditional status

For a full explanation of how the FedExCup system works, see our PGA Tour guide.

Signature Events

The PGA Tour's signature events are the crown jewels of the regular season. There were eight in 2026, each a limited-field event with a $20 million purse and 700 FedExCup points to the winner. The three player-hosted events (Genesis, Arnold Palmer and Memorial) have a 36-hole cut to the top 50 and ties plus anyone within 10 shots of the lead; the other five have no cut.

Key Signature Events

• AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am (Feb 12-15) - one of the most iconic events in golf, played on the stunning Pebble Beach Golf Links along the Monterey Peninsula coastline. With The Sentry not played in 2026, it opened the signature schedule. Winner: Collin Morikawa
• The Genesis Invitational (Feb 19-22) - hosted by Tiger Woods at the historic Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, California. Winner: Jacob Bridgeman
• Arnold Palmer Invitational (Mar 5-8) - held at Bay Hill Club in Orlando, honouring the legacy of the King of Golf. Winner: Akshay Bhatia

Three of the biggest regular season events are not signature events:

The Four Major Championships

The major championships are the most important events in professional golf. While they are run by independent organisations, they form the backbone of the PGA Tour season, and each awards 750 FedExCup points to the winner, the same as The Players.

The Masters (April)

The first major of the year, held at Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia. The Masters is steeped in tradition and is arguably the most prestigious event in golf. For how the 2026 edition played out, see our Masters 2026 results.

• Venue: Augusta National Golf Club, Augusta, Georgia
• Dates: April 9-12, 2026
• 2026 winner: Rory McIlroy, his second straight green jacket, by one shot over Scottie Scheffler
• Format: 72 holes, invitation-only field (91 players in 2026)

PGA Championship (May)

The second major, run by the PGA of America. The PGA Championship has moved around the calendar over the years and now occupies the May slot.

• Venue and dates: Aronimink Golf Club, Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, May 14-17, 2026
• 2026 winner: Aaron Rai, his first major, by three shots

• Notable feature: The only major run by the PGA of America (as opposed to the USGA, R&A or Augusta National)

U.S. Open (June)

The USGA's flagship championship, known for demanding course setups with narrow fairways, deep rough and firm, fast greens. The U.S. Open is golf's toughest test.

• Venue and dates: Shinnecock Hills Golf Club, Southampton, New York, June 18-21, 2026
• 2026 winner: Wyndham Clark, wire to wire, by one shot over Sam Burns
• Format: 72 holes, open qualification through local and final qualifying

The Open Championship (July)

The oldest major championship in golf, run by the R&A and played on links courses in the United Kingdom. The Open is the only major played outside the United States.

• Venue and dates: Royal Birkdale Golf Club, Southport, England, July 16-19, 2026
• 2026 winner: Ryan Fox, his first major, one shot clear of Cameron Young
• Format: 72 holes, played on a rota of links courses
• Notable feature: Links golf - firm, fast fairways, deep pot bunkers, unpredictable wind

Regular Season Highlights

Beyond the signature events and majors, the PGA Tour schedule features many events with rich histories and loyal followings:

Early Season (January - February)

FedExCup Playoffs (August)

The season culminates with the three-event FedExCup Playoffs:

FedEx St. Jude Championship

The first playoff event reduces the field from the top 70 FedExCup qualifiers to the top 50. Held at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee, this event immediately raises the stakes with the first elimination cut. In 2026 it ran Aug 13-16 and was won by Scottie Scheffler.

BMW Championship

The second playoff event further reduces the field from 50 to 30. The pressure intensifies as players fight to reach the season finale. The 2026 edition was played Aug 20-23 at Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis, Missouri. Winner: Wyndham Clark.

Tour Championship

The season finale at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Georgia. In 2026 the top 30 players all started at even par, with no starting strokes, and the 72-hole winner was the FedExCup champion. The leader of the standings after the BMW Championship collects a $23 million bonus, and the Tour Championship winner takes $10 million from a $40 million purse. Scottie Scheffler won the 2026 edition (Aug 27-30) by three shots for his second FedExCup title.

FedExCup Fall

After the Tour Championship, the PGA Tour moves into the FedExCup Fall. Players ranked 51st and beyond carry their points into these events and play for next season's status: a top 100 finish brings exempt status into full-field events and a spot in The Players, and 101 to 125 earns conditional status.

Two fall events have been played:

• Biltmore Championship Asheville (Sep 17-20, The Cliffs at Walnut Cove, Asheville, North Carolina). Winner: Jacob Bridgeman
• Bank of Utah Championship (Oct 1-4, Black Desert Resort, Ivins, Utah). Winner: Austin Smotherman

The Presidents Cup was played at Medinah Country Club (No. 3) outside Chicago on Sep 24-27, won by the United States.

Still to play as of October 7, 2026:

• Baycurrent Classic (Oct 8-11): Yokohama Country Club, Yokohama, Japan
• Butterfield Bermuda Championship (Oct 22-25): Port Royal Golf Course, Southampton, Bermuda
• VidantaWorld Mexico Open (Oct 29-Nov 1): Vidanta Vallarta, Mexico
• World Wide Technology Championship (Nov 5-8): El Cardonal at Diamante, Los Cabos, Mexico
• Austin Championship (Nov 12-15): Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa, Fazio Canyons Course, Austin, Texas
• The RSM Classic (Nov 19-22): Sea Island Golf Club, St. Simons Island, Georgia, the traditional closer of the fall

The Hero World Challenge (Dec 3-6, Albany, Bahamas), PGA Tour Q-School (Dec 10-13, Ponte Vedra Beach) and the Grant Thornton Invitational (Dec 11-13, Naples, Florida) follow in December.

International Events

While the PGA Tour schedule is primarily based in North America, it includes several international stops that broaden its global reach:

• The Open Championship (United Kingdom)
• Baycurrent Classic (Japan)
• World Wide Technology Championship and VidantaWorld Mexico Open (Mexico)
• RBC Canadian Open (Canada)

These events complement the global schedule of the DP World Tour and other circuits, giving fans worldwide the opportunity to see the best players in person.

Key Storylines of the 2026 Season

Several narratives drove interest throughout the 2026 PGA Tour season:

• Scottie Scheffler's dominance: wins at The American Express, the FedEx St. Jude Championship and the Tour Championship, a second FedExCup title, and he moved past Tiger Woods in PGA Tour career earnings
• Rory McIlroy's Augusta repeat: a year after completing the career Grand Slam at the 2025 Masters, he won again in April for his sixth major, joining Nicklaus, Faldo and Woods as the only back-to-back Masters champions
• New major winners: Aaron Rai at the PGA Championship and Ryan Fox at The Open both won their first majors
• The team events: the United States won the 2026 Presidents Cup at Medinah, and qualification for the 2027 Ryder Cup at Adare Manor, Ireland (Sep 13-19, 2027) adds an extra dimension to every event
