The current PGA Tour season originally had 49 FedEx Cup tournaments. The global coronavirus pandemic forced changes to those plans.
On Thursday, the PGA Tour released its revised schedule, and the new slate shows a total of 36 tournaments.
Ten of the original events have been canceled, including the 149th Open Championship, meaning we’ll only see three majors this calendar year.
Two of those majors – the U.S. Open and the Masters – as well as the Corales Puntacana Resort & Club Championship, slide onto next season’s 2020-21 schedule. Puntacana, an opposite-field event that was supposed to be the same weekend as the WGC-Match Play, is now opposite the Ryder Cup.
Also coming off the PGA Tour’s future schedules is A Military Tribute at the Greenbrier, which had served as the Tour’s season opener. On Thursday, tournament organizers canceled next season’s event as well as the remaining years on a contract that was to run through 2026.
