The PGA TOUR Championship Series, first announced in June, will feature the TOUR’s top performers competing throughout a season running from February through August. This series is expected to include approximately 23-24 events, encompassing THE PLAYERS Championship, major championships, postseason events, and international team competitions like the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. The full 2028 PGA TOUR schedule, when the Championship Series is set to debut, will be released at a later date.
