Second year of reimagined schedule to deliver heightened drama and consequence for fans, with eight Signature Events complementing THE PLAYERS Championship, four majors and the FedExCup Playoffs
Written by Staff @PGATOUR
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – The PGA TOUR on Wednesday announced the 2025 FedExCup Regular Season and FedExCup Playoffs schedule, a 39-event slate that marks Year 2 of the TOUR’s new competitive model. A combination of Full-Field and Signature Events offers heightened drama and consequence for fans — plus life-changing moments for the game’s biggest and newest stars — each week across the FedExCup Season.
The 36-event FedExCup Regular Season schedule features the 51st playing of THE PLAYERS Championship in March, the four major championships, eight Signature Events, 18 Full-Field Events and five Additional Events. The three-event FedExCup Playoffs follow during the month of August, with the FedExCup Champion crowned once again at the TOUR Championship. The 2025 FedExCup Fall, which will finalize eligibility for the 2026 season, will be announced at a later date.
Continuing on past success, the TOUR schedule will be fully sponsored — which includes the recently announced partnership with Truist — a seven-year agreement with the PGA TOUR’s Charlotte-based event, now known as the Truist Championship.
“The new schedule and competitive changes introduced in 2024 were significant steps toward creating the best version of the PGA TOUR for our fans and players,” said PGA TOUR Commissioner Jay Monahan. “Fields were significantly stronger across the board, while the Signature Events provided fans more opportunities to see the PGA TOUR’s best competing head-to-head. As we enter the second year of this reimagined schedule, one thing remains a constant — winning on the PGA TOUR continues to rank among the most difficult and rewarding accomplishments in sport. We are grateful to the entire membership, especially our Player Directors and Player Advisory Council, as well as our tournaments and partners.”
The 2025 FedExCup Regular Season and Playoffs include events contested in the United States across 18 states as well as Mexico, Canada, Northern Ireland, Scotland, the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico.
The PGA TOUR season will be televised domestically on NBC/Golf Channel/Peaco*ck, CBS/Paramount+ and PGA TOUR LIVE on ESPN+, with SiriusXM handling live radio coverage. Internationally, PGA TOUR coverage is available in more than 200 countries and territories in 30 languages.
Signature Events
Contested at a number of the world’s most historic and recognizable courses, Signature Events complement THE PLAYERS Championship, the four majors and the FedExCup Playoffs. These events feature limited fields comprised of the world’s best competing head-to-head on a regular cadence throughout the season.
The eight Signature Events, which offer increased FedExCup points (700 points to the winner), are as follows:
- The Sentry (Dec. 30-Jan. 5)
- AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am (Jan. 27-Feb. 2)
- The Genesis Invitational (Feb. 10-16)
- Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard (March 3-9)
- RBC Heritage (April 14-20)
- Truist Championship (May 5-11)
- the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday (May 26-June 1)
- Travelers Championship (June 16-22)
Following The Sentry, eligibility for the remaining seven Signature Events (field sizes with a minimum of 72 players) includes the top 50 players from the 2024 FedExCup standings. Additional eligibility pathways are available throughout the season, connecting the entire PGA TOUR schedule from start to finish. These pathways include:
- Fifteen members who can play their way in through the Aon Next 10 and Aon Swing 5;
- Current season tournament winners (excluding Additional Events);
- PGA TOUR members inside the top 30 in the Official World Golf Ranking;
- Four sponsor exemptions earmarked for PGA TOUR members;
- The three player-hosted events each have one tournament host exemption, not restricted to PGA TOUR members.
The Aon Next 10 represents the top 10 players, not already exempt, from the FedExCup standings, while the Aon Swing 5 includes the top five FedExCup points earners, not already exempt, from a collection of Full-Field Events leading up to each Signature Event. In 2024, 48 different PGA TOUR players who did not finish in the top 50 of the previous year’s FedExCup Playoffs and Eligibility Points List made at least one Signature Event start via the Aon Next 10 or Aon Swing 5.
