PGA Tour Announce 2013 Schedule And New 2014 Format
Published: Last updated:
The PGA Tour schedule has been announced for next year and it will be the last before it switches to a new format that will see the season start in autumn.
In total there will be 36 tournaments in the regular season with a further four for the FedEx Cup play-offs, concluding with the Tour Championship that starts on September 19th.
“We are extremely pleased with the continued stability and strength of the schedule,” PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem said. “While the upcoming season is unique in that our traditional fall tournaments are shifting to the start of the 2013-2014 season, we are very excited about the change that will establish a definitive end to the Tour season at the Tour Championship.”
There have been some minor changes, not least the Mayakoba Golf Classic being moved from its normal slot in February to the beginning of the 2013-2014 FedExCup season.
The PGA have also increased the number of FedEx Cup points on offer for winning the Puerto Rico Open, the Truth South Classic and the Reno-Tahoe Open from 250 to 300, a move made due to the three tournaments that clash with either majors or World Golf Championships.
