PGA tour schedule developments

Entities: Zach Johnson · Retief Goosen · PGA Champions Tour · Padraig Harrington · The Sentry

Overview

In late July 2026 the PGA Champions Tour published its 2026 calendar, listing more than 30 senior‑golf tournaments across the United States and abroad, with events such as the Mitsubishi Electric Championship at Hualalai, the Senior PGA Championship, the Regions Tradition, the U.S. Senior Open, and international stops in Portugal and Morocco. Notable senior players named include Stewart Cink, Zach Johnson, Padraig Harrington, Retief Goosen and Jerry Kelly.

Two days later the PGA Tour announced a structural addition to its forthcoming Championship Series: the annual Torrey Pines event in San Diego will become part of the series starting in 2028 and will be rebranded as The Sentry in 2027 under a new title‑sponsorship. The series will feature 23–24 elite events, including the four majors and a redesigned postseason, with a parallel Challenger Series allowing promotion and relegation between tiers. The announcement also referenced the tournament’s history, noting its previous name, Farmers Insurance Open, and recent champion Justin Rose.

Together, these updates show the PGA organization expanding and reorganizing its competitive calendars for both senior and regular tours, adding new venues, rebranding events, and creating tiered series to shape future seasons.
