2027 PGA TOUR Schedule: Full Calendar, Majors and Favorites

Last updated August 26, 2026.

The 2027 PGA TOUR season will run 36 tournaments from January 18 through August 29, opening at The American Express in La Quinta, California, and closing with the TOUR Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. The schedule the TOUR released on August 26, 2026 keeps all eight Signature Events, adds one new stop in Napa, moves The Sentry from Maui to Torrey Pines, sends the BMW Championship to Liberty National and lines up four of the most recognizable major venues in golf: Augusta National, PGA Frisco, Pebble Beach and the Old Course at St Andrews.

It is also a bridge year. The 2027 FedExCup Playoffs will be the 21st edition of the series and the last before the TOUR’s two-series structure and a match-play TOUR Championship arrive in 2028.

Below is the full schedule, what changed and why, early favorites for each major and the reasoning behind them, the young players we think are worth following, and what the FedExCup race looks like heading into a farewell season.

The Full 2027 PGA TOUR Schedule

Dates are tournament weeks. Competition rounds generally run Thursday through Sunday, with one exception noted below. Signature Events are marked (S), majors are marked (M), and the Genesis Scottish Open is co-sanctioned with the DP World Tour.

The majors are not TOUR co-sponsored events but count fully toward the FedExCup. The FedExCup Fall schedule will be announced at a later date, along with eligibility details for the 2028 Championship Series and Challenger Series.

What Changed for 2027

The Sentry moves to Torrey Pines, and Hawaii drops off the calendar

The biggest single change is at the top of the schedule. After 27 years at Kapalua, Sentry Insurance has shifted its title sponsorship to the TOUR’s long-running San Diego stop, which will simply be called The Sentry beginning in 2027. Hawaii News Now reported that Sentry’s contract at Torrey Pines runs through 2035 and that 2027 will be the first year in nearly six decades without a PGA TOUR event in Hawaii.

The move follows the cancellation of the 2026 Sentry at Kapalua, where drought and a water dispute left the Plantation Course unable to meet tournament standards. The new version is not the small-field Signature Event that Kapalua hosted. It is a full-field, 500-point tournament played January 25-30 on the South and North courses, with a Saturday finish to stay clear of the NFL’s conference championship games. Justin Rose won the final Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines in 2026, so the venue’s defending champion will be defending a title with a different name.

A new event in Napa, a renamed one in Greensboro

The Sompo Championship is the lone new tournament. It will be played July 26-August 1 on Silverado Resort’s North Course, which hosted a TOUR event from 2014 through 2025, and it slots in as the second-to-last regular-season event. The TOUR’s multi-year deal with Sompo calls for a full-field event in 2027 before the tournament shifts to a new venue and market as a Championship Series event in 2028.

Greensboro’s annual stop, known for decades as the Wyndham Championship, becomes the GO by Raymond James. It remains the regular-season finale on August 2-8 at Sedgefield Country Club and is already slated for the 2028 Championship Series.

One 300-point event opposite The Genesis Invitational (February 15-21) is still listed as TBD, so expect one more announcement before the season starts.

The Florida swing gets reshuffled

Florida now runs four straight weeks in a new order: the Cognizant Classic (February 22-28), the Cadillac Championship at Trump National Doral (March 1-7), THE PLAYERS Championship (March 8-14) and the Arnold Palmer Invitational (March 15-21). Doral moves into the week directly before THE PLAYERS, and Bay Hill moves to the week directly after it. Two Signature Events bookending the TOUR’s flagship tournament makes March the densest stretch of the pre-Masters calendar.

The BMW Championship heads to Liberty National

The second playoff event shifts to Liberty National Golf Club in Jersey City, New Jersey, with the Manhattan skyline across the water. The course hosted the 2017 Presidents Cup and last held a FedExCup Playoffs event in 2019. The FedEx St. Jude Championship stays at TPC Southwind in Memphis, and the TOUR Championship stays at East Lake.

Signature Events stay at eight

The Signature lineup is unchanged from 2026: the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, The Genesis Invitational, Cadillac Championship, Arnold Palmer Invitational, RBC Heritage, Truist Championship, the Memorial Tournament and the Travelers Championship. Fields include the top 50 from the 2026 FedExCup standings plus in-season qualifiers through the Aon Next 10 and Aon Swing 5. The three player-hosted events (Genesis, Arnold Palmer and the Memorial) keep a 36-hole cut to the top 50 and ties, plus anyone within 10 shots of the lead.

For the bigger picture on why the TOUR is willing to move, rename and drop long-standing stops, our earlier look at LIV’s vanished Plymouth finale and golf’s changing 2028 map covers the two-series plan, the markets under consideration and which current events were left out of the first Championship Series announcements.

2027 Major Championships: Venues, Dates and Early Favorites

Odds cited below are a dated snapshot: early futures prices posted in April and June 2026. They will move substantially before each event and are included only to show how the market viewed the field at that time.

The Masters, April 8-11, Augusta National Golf Club

Rory McIlroy will try to become the first player to win three consecutive Masters after holding off Scottie Scheffler by one shot in 2026, a year after completing the career Grand Slam. Only four players have ever gone back-to-back at Augusta. Even so, the early market has Scheffler on top. Opening odds compiled by Covers listed Scheffler around +450 and McIlroy around +600, with Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau next at +1200 to +1400.

Why Scheffler is favored: He has finished inside the top 10 at Augusta five straight years, including wins in 2022 and 2024 and a weekend of 65-68 in 2026 that came up one shot short. His tee-to-green game travels anywhere, and no course rewards past success like Augusta National.

Why McIlroy is the co-favorite: Two green jackets in two years, six majors in total, and a light 2026 schedule that still produced a Masters win and a runner-up at Riviera. The unusual part of his 2026 defense was that he squandered a large 36-hole lead and then rallied on Sunday, which says something about how comfortable he has become at Augusta.

The wild cards: Rahm and DeChambeau still play their regular golf on LIV, so the majors remain the only weeks they face the full PGA TOUR field. Rahm was runner-up at the 2026 PGA Championship, and reports over the summer suggested he could leave LIV after the 2026 season, which would give him a fuller schedule to sharpen up before April.

PGA Championship, May 20-23, Fields Ranch East at PGA Frisco

This is the one on our home turf. The 109th PGA Championship will be the first men’s major in the Dallas-Fort Worth area since Jack Nicklaus won the 1963 PGA at Dallas Athletic Club, and it lands on the 100th anniversary of Walter Hagen’s fourth straight PGA title at Cedar Crest in Dallas in 1927. Fields Ranch East is a Gil Hanse design that plays as a par 72 at more than 7,800 yards and has already hosted the 2023 Senior PGA Championship and the 2025 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. According to the PGA of America’s ticket page, Thursday-through-Sunday championship-round tickets have sold out, with verified resale now open.

Texas heat in May is exactly the grip test our MG Golf gloves are built for, whether you are walking Fields Ranch East as a spectator or playing your own round that week.

Why Scheffler and McIlroy will open as favorites: Aaron Rai, the defending champion, won at Aronimink at 150/1 with a closing 65 and a three-shot margin over Rahm and Alex Smalley. Long-shot winners are a PGA Championship tradition, but the market resets to the two players who had combined for four of the five majors played before Rai’s win. Scheffler, a Dallas resident, also won the 2025 PGA at Quail Hollow by five shots.

Who else fits: A brand-new, 7,800-yard major venue with wide corridors favors distance and high ball flight. That puts DeChambeau, Ludvig Åberg and Cameron Young in the conversation, and it gives the 2025 Rookie of the Year Aldrich Potgieter, the longest driver on TOUR, an interesting ceiling if his approach play has improved by May.

U.S. Open, June 17-20, Pebble Beach Golf Links

Pebble Beach hosts its seventh U.S. Open. The previous six were won by Jack Nicklaus (1972), Tom Watson (1982), Tom Kite (1992), Tiger Woods (2000, by 15 shots), Graeme McDowell (2010) and Gary Woodland (2019). Covers reported that Scheffler opened around +500 for 2027 after the 2026 championship, with two-time champion Wyndham Clark near 28/1.

Why Scheffler is the favorite again: The U.S. Open is the only major missing from his resume, and he arrived at Shinnecock Hills in 2026 as the favorite before finishing tied for fourth. Pebble Beach is short by modern standards and demands precise iron play into small greens, which is exactly where Scheffler separates from the field.

Why Clark deserves respect: He won wire-to-wire at Shinnecock from a six-shot 54-hole lead, becoming a two-time U.S. Open champion in four years, and added two more wins in 2026, including the BMW Championship. He was a 40/1 afterthought before Shinnecock. He will not be overlooked at Pebble.

Our sleeper: Sam Burns. He finished tied for seventh at the Masters, one shot behind Clark at Shinnecock and third at Royal Birkdale after leading through 54 holes. That is three top-10s in a single major season without a win. Pebble Beach rewards the kind of approach play Burns has produced all year, and a first major there would surprise no one who watched him in 2026.

The Open Championship, July 15-18, Old Course at St Andrews

The 155th Open returns to the Home of Golf for the 31st time. Cameron Smith won the last one here in 2022 at 20 under, and only five players (Bob Martin, J.H. Taylor, James Braid, Nicklaus and Woods) have won more than one Open at St Andrews. Royal Birkdale set an Open attendance record of 306,000 in 2026, and St Andrews is the likeliest venue to break it.

The defending champion: Ryan Fox, at 39 and priced as high as 200/1, matched the lowest round in major history with a Saturday 62 at Birkdale and then birdied the 72nd hole to win by one. He climbed from 56th to a career-best 22nd in the world ranking, and he already has a DP World Tour win at the Alfred Dunhill Links, which finishes on the Old Course.

Why the favorites still start with Scheffler and McIlroy: Scheffler, the 2025 champion, finished fourth at Birkdale, three back. McIlroy tied for third at St Andrews in 2022 after sharing the 54-hole lead, and a wide, firm links course rewards his driving as much as any venue on the calendar.

The player we keep coming back to: Cameron Young. He was runner-up to Smith at St Andrews in 2022, runner-up to Fox at Birkdale after a final-round 64, and he won THE PLAYERS Championship in March 2026. He climbed to No. 3 in the world ranking this summer without a major on his resume, and St Andrews has already shown it fits his game.

Rising Stars We Are Excited to Watch in 2027

The 2026 season produced what the Wyndham Championship called arguably the strongest class of young players ever to enter its field. These are the ones we will be following most closely when the calendar turns.

Jackson Koivun, 21

Koivun is the headline. He became the first player to win all four major college awards, won 11 times in three seasons at Auburn and helped the Tigers win the 2026 NCAA title. He finished tied for 23rd at the U.S. Open as an amateur, turned professional at the John Deere Classic and, in only his third start as a pro, held off Scheffler to win the 3M Open. That win jumped him to 70th in the FedExCup with two 2026 regular-season events left to play. Entering his pro debut, PGA TOUR’s Horses for Courses column noted he ranked first in that field in both strokes gained: total and strokes gained: putting over his previous 20 rounds. Whatever the Rookie of the Year voting decides, he is the most talked-about newcomer since Ludvig Åberg, and 2027 will be his first full season.

Blades Brown, 19

Brown broke Bobby Jones’ 103-year-old record as the youngest stroke-play medalist in U.S. Amateur history at 16, turned pro at 17 and secured Special Temporary Member status in 2026 after a tie for 14th at THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson. He added a solo third at the Puerto Rico Open and a top-10 at Myrtle Beach and had four TOUR top-10s before the Fourth of July. He can get loose off the tee on tighter courses, but he makes birdies in bunches, and he will not turn 20 until May 2027.

Kristoffer Reitan, 28

Reitan is the rookie who has already done the most. The Norwegian earned his TOUR card through the DP World Tour’s top-10 pathway after two 2025 wins in Europe, once seriously considered quitting competitive golf to become a YouTube golfer, and then won the Truist Championship at Quail Hollow by two shots over Rickie Fowler and Nicolai Højgaard. He is one of only two first-time winners of a Signature Event since the category was created, and he finished the 2026 regular season 20th in the FedExCup, which put him in the 30-man TOUR Championship field. He and fellow rookie Alex Fitzpatrick, who won the Zurich Classic alongside his brother Matt, are the two names in the Rookie of the Year conversation.

Aldrich Potgieter, 21

The 2025 Rookie of the Year led the TOUR in driving distance last year, won the 2025 Rocket Classic in a five-hole playoff and entered 2026 as the youngest member on TOUR. He did not win in 2026, but a fifth at The Genesis Invitational and a tie for eighth at the RBC Canadian Open showed the game holding up at the biggest events. His coach has described the game as still raw, and the numbers point to approach play and scrambling as the areas to fix. If they are fixed, PGA Frisco in May looks tailor-made for him.

Ben James, 23

James was the No. 1 player in the 2026 PGA TOUR University rankings after four years at Virginia, where his seven individual wins tied the school record. His first TOUR season has been quieter than Koivun’s, with a tie for fourth at the Corales Puntacana Championship as the high point, but PGA TOUR University graduates such as Åberg and Michael Thorbjornsen have shown how quickly the program’s top players can adapt.

Names to keep on the list

Luke Clanton is still looking for his first win after a tie for fifth at the Puerto Rico Open in his first full season, which followed an offseason spent adding strength. Jacob Bridgeman, 26, converted a seven-shot lead into a one-shot win at Riviera, leads the TOUR in strokes gained: putting and sits 13th in the FedExCup. Michael Thorbjornsen, Gordon Sargent and the 6-foot-8 South African Christo Lamprecht round out the group. The final piece of the 2027 rookie class arrives in October, when the top 20 on the Korn Ferry Tour points list earn cards at the Korn Ferry Tour Championship in Glen Allen, Virginia.

Koivun’s 3M Open breakthrough was the lead story in our Fresh Faces and Old Favorites newsletter, which also flagged the Travelers Championship as the first confirmed 2028 Championship Series event.

FedExCup Insights: A Farewell Season for the Playoffs as We Know Them

The 2027 format, one last time

The 2027 FedExCup Playoffs keep the structure fans know: the top 70 after the GO by Raymond James advance to the FedEx St. Jude Championship, the top 50 move on to the BMW Championship at Liberty National and the top 30 reach East Lake. The TOUR has not detailed the 2027 finale format, but the straight-up, 72-hole, everyone-at-even-par TOUR Championship used in 2025 and 2026 is expected to carry over. Playoff events award 750 points to the winner, and the FedExCup champion earns a five-year TOUR exemption.

Why the 2026 finish shapes 2027

The 2026 TOUR Championship settles more than a trophy. All 30 players who reached East Lake are already exempt into the 2027 Masters, U.S. Open and Open Championship and hold TOUR membership through 2028. The top 50 in the final 2026 FedExCup standings form the core of every 2027 Signature Event field, which means a strong or weak finish at East Lake can decide whether a player spends next February and March in $20 million events or trying to play his way in through the Aon Swing 5.

Scottie Scheffler enters as the No. 1 seed for the fifth straight year after a season that included wins at The American Express and the FedEx St. Jude Championship. Matt Fitzpatrick (No. 2), Wyndham Clark (No. 3) and Chris Gotterup (No. 6) are the only three-time winners of 2026, Cameron Young (No. 4) capped a breakout year with THE PLAYERS title, and Si Woo Kim (No. 5) is the highest-ranked player without a win. Tommy Fleetwood, the 2025 champion under the even-par format, is ninth. Our 2026 TOUR Championship preview breaks down the favorites, the dark horses and what East Lake demands.

What replaces the Playoffs in 2028

On Tuesday the TOUR announced the season-ending structure for the 2028 Championship Series. The top 90 on the season-long points list will keep their cards and play a 72-hole stroke-play Championship Series Finale that crowns both a tournament winner and the season-long points champion. The top 32 after that event advance to a reimagined TOUR Championship: one week of group match play (eight groups of four, three days, top two advance), followed by a second week of head-to-head matches among the final 16 at a different course. It will be the first match play on TOUR since the 2023 WGC-Match Play, and the venues will rotate annually. The TOUR will reveal the full 2028 Championship Series schedule, including both TOUR Championship sites, on February 22, 2027.

Two consequences follow for 2027. The 2027 TOUR Championship could be East Lake’s last as the permanent home of the season finale, since the 2028 event moves to a rotation of venues. And the FedEx St. Jude Championship, which was not among the first group of events announced for the 2028 Championship Series, may be hosting its final playoff week in Memphis. CEO Brian Rolapp’s letter to fans this week said the change was a direct response to feedback that the current postseason did not deliver a finish worthy of the season that preceded it.

Storylines to watch in the 2027 race

• Can anyone stop a fifth straight No. 1 seed from becoming a sixth? Scheffler has led the standings entering East Lake every year since 2022. The only players to win multiple FedExCups are Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy.
• The Liberty National effect. A New York-area BMW Championship in a Ryder Cup year (Adare Manor in Ireland follows in September) gives the second playoff week a bigger stage than it has had in years.
• Which longtime stops get a Championship Series invitation. Every 2028 announcement between now and February 22 reshuffles the future of a current tournament.

2027 PGA TOUR Schedule FAQ

When does the 2027 PGA TOUR season start?

The 2027 season begins with The American Express, January 18-24, at PGA WEST and La Quinta Country Club in La Quinta, California. It is the first of three consecutive California events, followed by The Sentry at Torrey Pines and the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

How many tournaments are on the 2027 schedule?

Is 2027 the last year of the FedExCup Playoffs?

It is the last year of the current three-event Playoffs structure. Beginning in 2028, the season will end with a Championship Series Finale that crowns the season-long points winner, followed by a two-week, 32-player match-play TOUR Championship at two rotating venues.

Who is favored to win the majors in 2027?

Scottie Scheffler opened as the favorite for all four majors in early futures markets, with Rory McIlroy second at the Masters and among the top choices at the U.S. Open and The Open.
