A look at the season ahead in golf
After a super-sized 2020-21 schedule, the PGA Tour has made more enhancements to its calendar for the 2021-22 season. The schedule features a total of 48 events – 45 during the regular season and three FedEx Cup Playoffs events.
Highlights of the 2021-22 season schedule, which kicks off in mid-September a week before the Ryder Cup at Whistling Straits in Wisconsin, include a true Florida swing in 2022 headlined by THE PLAYERS Championship (March 10-13), part of four straight events that will take place in the Sunshine State. Additionally, after a two-year hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic, the RBC Canadian Open is set to return at St. George’s Golf and Country Club in Toronto, Ontario (June 9-12).
The 2022 majors will begin with the Masters at Augusta National in April, followed by the PGA Championship (May 19-22), which will be held at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It will be the fifth time the course has hosted the PGA Championship, the most recent happening in 2007, which Tiger Woods won. The U.S. Open will be played over Father's Day weekend (June 16-19) at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts. This will be the fourth time one of the oldest country clubs in the U.S. will have hosted the USGA's signature event, and the first time since 1988 when Curtis Strange won. The majors will conclude with the British Open (The Open Championship) from July 14-17 at the historic St. Andrews Links in Scotland.
Following the British Open, the regular season will wrap up with three more events leading into the FedEx Cup Playoffs. The 2022 FedEx Cup Playoffs will begin with the renamed FedEx St. Jude Championship at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee (Aug. 11-14), followed by the BMW Championship at Wilmington Country Club in Wilmington, Delaware (Aug. 18-21). The playoffs will conclude with the TOUR Championship at Atlanta's East Lake Golf Club (Aug. 25-28).
One other unique aspect to the 2021-22 PGA Tour schedule is that three events – the Barbasol Championship; the Barracuda Championship; and the Genesis Scottish Open – are co-sanctioned as part of the Strategic Alliance between the PGA Tour and European Tour that was announced last November. This means that these three tournaments scheduled for 2022 will count towards both the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup standings and the European Tour’s Race to Dubai.
