On Wednesday, the PGA Tour announced its slate for its fall portion of competition following the conclusion of the Tour Championship in August.
This comes after the PGA Tour announced its new changes to revert back to a calendar-year format instead of the year-round schedule currently being used.
“We are launching the most meaningful updates to the PGA TOUR season since 2007, the first year of the FedEx Cup,” PGA Tour President Tyler Dennis said in a PGA Tour article. “The reimagining of our schedule – from the Regular Season with Designated and Full-Field events to the FedEx Cup Playoffs and culminating with the FedEx Cup Fall – creates distinct but connected ‘chapters,’ and within this new framework, the FedEx Cup Fall is now more than ever an integral part of that compelling story.”

PGA Tour fall 2023 schedule
There will be seven events during the fall, in addition to the Ryder Cup between Team USA and Team Europe during the final weekend in September.
| Tournament | Date |
| Fortinet Championship | September 11 – 17 |
| Sanderson Farms Championship | October 2 – 8 |
| Shriners Children’s Open | October 9 – 15 |
| ZOZO Championship | October 16 – 22 |
| World Wide Technology Championship | October 30 – November 5 |
| Butterfield Bermuda Championship | November 6 – 12 |
| The RSM Classic | November 13 – 19 |
Following The RSM Classic, the PGA Tour will hold its Challenge Season portion of the schedule, which includes events such as the Hero World Challenge (November 27 – December 3), hosted by 82-time PGA Tour winner Tiger Woods, the Grand Thornton Invitational (December 4-10) and the PNC Championship from December 11-17.
Unlike in previous years, the PNC Championship will be a new co-sanctioned event by the PGA Tour and the LPGA Tour to see the best stars from both the men’s and the women’s game together on the same course.
With the changes that are in place for the 2024 schedule, players who finish inside the top 70 at the Tour Championship in August will already be exempt for the 2024 season, meaning they do not have to compete in any of the seven fall events.
But – new this year – players ranked No. 51 and beyond will carry their FedEx Cup Points from the Regular Season and first Playoff event into the FedEx Cup Fall and continue to accumulate FedEx Cup Points to finalize their eligibility for the 2024 season.
Those who win the seven events will still earn their two-year PGA Tour exemption (if not previous eligible) as well as entry into the Sentry Tournament of Champions in January, the first designated event of the 2024 regular season. The winners will also gain entry into The PLAYERS Championship and the four major tournaments that have previously invited PGA Tour winners.
Speaking of the designated events, the 10 players with the most FedEx Cup points through the seven fall events will earn entry into the first two designated events after the Sentry Tournament of Champions.
In total, there will be $56.6 million in prize money throughout the fall schedule, leading to around $8 million purses per event.
The PGA Tour also announced ways to obtain eligibility for the 2024 regular season besides the seven fall events.
The first are the top 10 finishers, not otherwise exempt, on the DP Word Tour’s Race to Dubai Rankings. The second are the top 30 players on the final Korn Ferry Tour points list. The third and final way is the top five finishers and ties for the final stage of the 2023 PGA Tour Q-school, which returns for the first time in 11 years.
As a result of the seven events being announced, there are some regular fall stops that will not be played, including The Houston Open, which will be moved to the spring. Another fall event has been the World Golf Championships-HSBC Champions event that has not taken place since 2019. That will continue in 2023 to be evaluated in 2024.
One tournament in the spring that is impacted by the fall schedule is the World Golf Championships-Dell Technologies Match Play event that will not be played next season.
As all the changes continue to be announced, Dennis said it only raises the competition throughout the fall swing.
“There will be so much at stake – and more immediate payoffs – as opportunities are unlocked in the FedEx Cup Fall for the season to come,” Dennis said.
