PGA Tour Reveals 7-Event Fall Schedule Featuring $56.6M in Prize-Money Purses

The PGA Tour announced its revamped 2023 fall schedule Wednesday, which will feature seven tournaments carrying $56.6 million in prize money.

Mark Schlabach of ESPN reported there will be several benefits to the winners of the seven tournaments, including a two-year tour exemption and invitations to the 2024 Sentry Tournament of Champions, Players Championship and major championships.

"The reimagining of our schedule—from the regular season with designated and full-field events to the FedEx Cup Playoffs and culminating with the FedEx Cup Fall—creates distinct but connected 'chapters,' and within this new framework, the FedEx Cup Fall is now more than ever an integral part of that compelling story. There will be so much at stake—and more immediate payoffs—as opportunities are unlocked in the FedEx Cup Fall for the season to come," PGA Tour president Tyler Dennis said in a statement.

Here is a look at the new fall schedule:

• Fortinet Championship (Sept. 14-17)
• Sanderson Farm Championship (Oct. 5-8)
• Shriners Children's Open (Oct. 12-15)
• Zozo Championship (Oct. 19-22)
• World Wide Technology Championship (Nov. 2-5)
• Butterfield Bermuda Championship (Nov. 9-12)
• RSM Classic (Nov. 16-19)

The PGA Tour has made several direct responses to the growing popularity of LIV Golf, which launched in 2022 with a seemingly unlimited budget provided by the government of Saudi Arabia. LIV poached several major winners with promises of nine-figure signing bonuses and a lighter schedule, with their limited-date events featuring only 54 holes.

In response, the PGA Tour increased the prize purses for several tournaments, reconfigured its schedule in hopes of keeping stars and partnered with Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy on a virtual golf league set to debut next year.

It's unclear if the changes to the calendar will hold off LIV from carving into the virtual monopoly the PGA Tour has held for decades. That said, it's clear the competition between the two leagues has been good for golfers.
