The PGA Tour has released its FedEx Cup Fall schedule with eight tournaments, including two new events in Asheville, North Carolina, and Austin, Texas. The updated lineup comes with some notable absences.
Two longtime tournaments won’t return: the Sanderson Farms Championship in Mississippi and the Procore Championship in Napa, California. The Mississippi event had been a tour fixture since 1968 – predating the modern PGA Tour itself – while the Napa tournament had been part of the schedule since the FedEx Cup began in 2007.
Sanderson Farms didn’t renew its title sponsorship, though they’ve extended support for an additional year through 2025. The tournament, originally known as the Magnolia Classic, has cycled through five different title sponsors during its long history.
Procore had signed just a two-year deal in summer 2024 as the lead event for the fall. This year’s tournament at Silverado Resort drew an unusually strong field, with many U.S. Ryder Cup team members participating to avoid a month-long competitive gap. Scottie Scheffler claimed the victory against a field that included all but two Ryder Cup team members.
Fall Schedule Highlights
The Presidents Cup at Medinah outside Chicago (Sept. 24-27) anchors the early fall calendar. The FedEx Cup Fall kicks off the week before with the new Biltmore Championship in Asheville.
The other new addition is the Good Good Championship in Austin, Texas. Austin last hosted a PGA Tour-sanctioned event in 2023 with the Dell Match Play, which was the final tournament in the World Golf Championships series.
The Bank of Utah Championship has shifted to October 1-4, positioning it just before the tour heads to Japan. This represents a change from the 2025 schedule, when Utah followed the Baycurrent Classic in Japan.
Perhaps the most significant move involves the Mexico Open, which jumps from its February slot during the West Coast Swing to the fall. This creates a two-week Mexico swing with the VidantaWorld Mexico Open in Vallarta (Oct. 29-Nov. 1) followed by the World Wide Technology Championship in Los Cabos. The two venues are separated by about 350 miles across the Gulf of California.
After Japan, players will get a week off before the schedule resumes in Bermuda, continues with the two-week Mexico swing, moves to Texas, and concludes with the RSM Classic on the Georgia coast.
The 2026 season will feature 45 tournaments total, including four events scheduled opposite either majors or signature events. For many players, the FedEx Cup Fall represents a crucial opportunity to finish among the top 100 and secure full playing privileges for the following year, or to earn two-year exemptions by winning.
