The PGA Tour, in the midst of its 2026 schedule, now has an idea of some of its 2027 slate — and the early part of the year will have a different look.
Several tournament sites have recently posted dates for next year, though the Tour has not yet released an official statement. Josh Carpenter of the Sports Business Journal reported that players were sent a memo outlining schedule changes.
To break down the schedule, let’s use a question-and-answer format.
The PGA Tour season won’t start in Hawaii, right?
Right. The Tour announced last month that it would no longer play its two Hawaii events, the Sentry tournament and the Sony Open, both of which had started the year.
When will the season start?
Based on tournament announcements, the season will start Thursday, 21 Jan at the American Express event in La Quinta, Calif. This year’s event was won by Scottie Scheffler.
Then what tournaments will be played?
After the American Express, an as-of-now unnamed tournament will be played the following week at Torrey Pines. Farmers Insurance ended its sponsorship of the event after this year’s tournament.
Here is what follows, based on tournament announcements:
- 4-7 Feb: AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am
- 11-14 Feb: WM Phoenix Open
- 18-21 Feb: Genesis Invitational
- 25-28 Feb: Cognizant Classic
- 4-7 Mar: Cadillac Championship
- 11-14 Mar: Players Championship
- 18-21 Mar: Arnold Palmer Invitational
- 25-28 Mar: Texas Children’s Houston Open
- 1-4 Apr: Valero Texas Open
- 8-11 Apr: Masters
- 15-18 Apr: RBC Heritage
- 22-25 Apr: Zurich Classic
- 29 Apr-2 May: CJ Cup Byron Nelson
- 6-9 May: Valspar Championship
- 13-16 May: Truist Championship and One Flight Myrtle Beach Classic
- 20-23 May: PGA Championship
What’s changing?
In order, here are the changes from this year, besides the Hawaiian events:
- The Pebble Beach and WM Phoenix Open events will swap dates, presumably for the Pebble Beach tournament to avoid the Super Bowl.
- The Cadillac Championship moves from May to early March, taking the date of the Arnold Palmer Invitational. The Cadillac will now precede the Players.
- The Arnold Palmer moves to mid-March, taking the date of the Valspar Championship. The API will now follow the Players.
- The CJ Cup Byron Nelson will be played three weeks earlier, taking the date of the Cadillac Championship.
- The Valspar Championship will move from March to May, taking the date of the Truist Championship.
- The Truist Championship and the PGA Championship will each be played one week later.
- This year, starting with the Masters and ending with the PGA, six tournaments were played, including two majors and three signature events. Next year, starting with the Masters and ending with the PGA, seven events will be played — and one less signature.
- The Puerto Rico Open, which this year was played opposite the Arnold Palmer, has yet to announce its date.
What about beyond the PGA?
At this point, little is official, but here is what we know:
- The Charles Schwab Challenge will likely follow the PGA.
- The U.S. Open, which will also be played at Pebble Beach, is set for 17-20 June.
- The Open Championship will be played 15-18 July at St. Andrews.
- The 2027 BMW Championship will be played at Liberty National in New Jersey.
