The PGA Tour on Monday announced that a new tournament will join the FedEx Cup Fall schedule next season, the Biltmore Championship in Asheville, North Carolina. It will be held at The Cliffs at Walnut Cove, one week before the Presidents Cup at Medinah Country Club.
The Biltmore Championship marks the second change to the PGA Tour’s fall swing as the Good Good Championship was previously announced as joining the slate. That event will be held at Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa’s Fazio Canyons Course in Austin, Texas.
Reading the tea leaves, it appears as if the 2026 FedEx Cup Fall will look relatively the same in terms of overall tournaments being played.
The Mexico Open, typically held in the regular season, was not on the 2026 schedule; it will instead take place next October. Baycurrent debuted as a new title sponsor in 2025, and it is on board for multiple years, while the Bank of Utah and World Wide Technology have deals through 2027. RSM and Butterfield go through 2028, leaving the Procore Championship in Napa, California, and the Sanderson Farms Championship in Jackson, Mississippi, in flux.
If the fall schedule holds or grows, what did PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp mean this past summer when he announced that a new competition committee would be driven by three principles: competitive parity, simplicity and scarcity?
If scarcity was going to be employed for a portion of the PGA Tour schedule, FedEx Cup Fall would be the first place to pare back, especially when considering what has taken place the last few seasons — fewer PGA Tour cards up for grabs, smaller fields, elimination of Monday qualifiers, etc.
However, whittling down the number of fall tournaments would contradict what Rolapp believes to be one of the PGA Tour’s greatest strengths (another one of those three principles): competitive parity.
