The Fedex Cup trophy is seen on the first tee during the final round of the TOUR Championship 2025 at East Lake Golf Club on August 24, 2025.
The PGA Tour has released its 2026 FedEx Cup Fall schedule, introducing changes designed to broaden the fall golf footprint while giving players more opportunities to secure their status for the following season. The full lineup will feature eight tournaments running from mid-September through late November, highlighted by two brand-new events and a reshaped global swing.
What was once a transitional period after the Tour Championship has evolved into a meaningful segment of the PGA Tour season–one that can define careers, reshape priority rankings and give players outside the top tier a platform to gain traction.
The fall schedule is increasingly crucial for players aiming to lock up playing privileges for 2027, either through finishing inside key FedExCup thresholds or by capturing momentum in late-season competition.
“The PGA TOUR is pleased to unveil its 2026 FedExCup Fall schedule, introducing exciting new U.S. events in addition to the global appeal of stops in Japan, Mexico and Bermuda,” Tyler Dennis, PGA TOUR Chief Competitions Officer, said. “Fans can expect rich storylines to unfold across the FedExCup Fall as players look to secure or improve their status for the following season.”
New Stops Bring New Energy
The Biltmore Championship Asheville in Asheville, North Carolina, and the Good Good Championship in Austin, Texas are the two new events fans can look forward to.
The Biltmore Championship Asheville will serve as the fall kickoff in mid-September at The Cliffs at Walnut Cove–a significant return of PGA Tour golf to the Blue Ridge Mountains for the first time in more than eight decades. This marks a notable expansion of the Tour’s geographical reach and gives players a fresh competitive start after the Tour Championship.
Later in the season, the Good Good Championship will take place at Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa in Austin. The return to Texas, a state with deep golf roots and loyal fanbases, revives elite professional golf in Austin for the first time since the end of the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play in 2023.
These two events replace the Procore Championship in Napa, California, and the Sanderson Farms Championship in Mississippi–longstanding fixtures that will not appear on the 2026 fall calendar.
Global Reach and Competitive Purpose
Beyond North America, the fall schedule maintains a global footprint that underscores the PGA Tour’s international aspirations. Stops include the Baycurrent Classic at Yokohama Country Club in Japan and the Butterfield Bermuda Championship at Port Royal in Bermuda. These events provide players the chance to compete in varied conditions while engaging fans worldwide.
Additionally, the VidantaWorld Mexico Open has been shifted from its traditional February date into the fall window, creating a two-event Mexico swing alongside the World Wide Technology Championship in Los Cabos.
Each fall tournament carries FedEx Cup points and significant implications for players on the fringes of full exemption. For many, strong results in this stretch can be the difference between securing a full PGA Tour card for the next season, or facing a longer road back through qualifiers and limited status.
Presidents Cup Remains a Premier Highlight
Sandwiched into the Fall lineup is the 16th Presidents Cup, scheduled for September 24-27 at Medinah Country Club in the Chicago suburbs. While not a FedEx Cup points event, the Presidents Cup is among golf’s most prestigious team competitions, pitting the United States against an international squad.
The presence of a marquee global team event in the middle of the fall schedule adds extra intrigue and star power to a stretch of golf that often features players fighting for status and ranking points. It also helps bridge the transition from the regular season into a compelling autumn narrative.
Following the Presidents Cup, the official FedEx Cup Fall lineup resumes with the Bank of Utah Championship in Ivins, Utah, before moving overseas and winding down with the RSM Classic in Georgia as the season’s curtain closer.
