The PGA Tour\u2019s slow rollout of tournaments that will make up the top tier of the PGA Tour\u2019s new schedule continues.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, the Tour announced the Cadillac Championship as a Championship Series event, increasing the total to five confirmed events<\/a> beyond the majors, Players Championship and FedEx Cup Playoffs.<\/p>\n

The Cadillac Championship, played at Trump National Doral outside of Miami, returned to Doral in 2026 after a 10-year absence. Played in May this past year, Cameron Young went wire to wire and beat Scottie Scheffler by six in a runaway victory. President Donald Trump was on hand for the final round.<\/p>\n

The Cadillac joins four other tournaments that were confirmed as Championship Series events just last week: The Sentry (now at Torrey Pines), Arnold Palmer Invitational, Travelers Championship and Sompo<\/a>, which will take over the Napa, Calif., event in 2027 before it owns a Championship Series event in 2028 at a to-be-announced venue and location.<\/p>\n

PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp officially announced the new PGA Tour competitive structure<\/a> last month, which, beginning in 2028, will feature a Championship Series track as well as a Challenger Series. The Championship Series events will feature the top players in the league and offer purses of $20 million versus $4 million on the Challenger Series. That means sponsors will have to pay big bucks for the Tour to host a Championship Series event, and while many of the announced tournaments have been somewhat predictable, there have still been some surprises (like the Sompo) and there could potentially be more.<\/p>\n

We likely won\u2019t know them until the next 2028 schedule drop, though. Until then, Rolapp plans to announce the complete tournament rundown in early 2027.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The PGA Tour\u2019s slow rollout of tournaments that will make up the top tier of the PGA Tour\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":46480,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[685],"class_list":["post-46479","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cameron-young","tag-cameron-young"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46479","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=46479"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46479\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/46480"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46479"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=46479"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=46479"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
