These are the 16 signature events on the PGA Tour’s 2024 schedule

Find the dates, course and defending champion of each event here.

On Thursday, Golfweek released an exclusive unveiling of the 2024 PGA Tour schedule. It includes 16 “signature” events including the four major championships.

Many of the signature events will not have a 36-hole cut, but the Genesis Invitational, Arnold Palmer Invitational, the Players Championship and the Memorial will feature a Friday afternoon slim down.

While the high-level events are evenly spread throughout the schedule, there is a point where players will have an opportunity to play three in a row: the Memorial, U.S. Open and Travelers Championship. Of course, the three playoff events will be played three weeks in a row, as well.

Here are the 16 signature events on the 2024 Tour schedule, including their dates, host venue and defending champion.

Sergio Garcia has been a staple at the Open Championship since 1997. That streak will end this year as the LIV Golf member failed to qualify.

The Spaniard played the par-72 6,973-yard West Lancashire and posted rounds of 67-71, good enough for 6 under and a T-6 finish.

However, there were just five spots up for grabs at West Lancashire and those will go to Matt Wallace (1st, 11 under), Matthew Jordan (T-2, 10 under), Kyle Barker (T-2, 10 under), Alex Fitzpatrick (T-4, 9 under) and Tiger Christensen (T-4, 9 under).

Since 1998, Garcia has made 24 starts at the Open, missing just four cuts and totaling 12 top-20 finishes, 10 of which were top 10s. His career-best finish came at Carnoustie in 2007 where he earned the silver medal.

Garcia played in two of the three major championships so far this season, missing the cut at the Masters and tying for 27th at the U.S. Open.
