The 2025 PGA Tour season is all set with 39 events lined up, including the four majors, eight Signature Events, and two FedEx Cup playoff events leading up to the Tour Championship in Atlanta in August. There have been some changes and notable updates for the upcoming season, especially in terms of host venues and title sponsors.
One major change for 2025 is the host of the Truist Championship in May. Traditionally held at the Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, NC, the event will now take place at the Philadelphia Cricket Club due to scheduling conflicts with the PGA Championship. The Philadelphia Cricket Club has a history of hosting prestigious golf events, including the 2015 PGA Professional Championship and the 2016 Senior Players Championship.
Another significant change is the return of the BMW Championship to Caves Valley in Owings Mills, MD, after being held at Castle Pines in 2024. The BMW Championship last took place at Caves Valley in 2021, making its comeback an exciting prospect for golf fans.
The 2025 Ryder Cup is scheduled to be held at Bethpage State Park in Farmingdale, NY, from September 25-28, promising an intense and thrilling competition between the best golfers from the United States and Europe.
One notable observation is the absence of clear opportunities for LIV events to align with the PGA Tour schedule. Speculations suggest that an agreement may not be in place until the fall of 2025 or that LIV players might operate separately from the Tour schedule. The potential merger of LIV events with the existing schedule remains uncertain.
The PGA Tour traditionally follows a route from the West and South in the winter and spring months before moving up North for the summer. However, with three out of the last four events in August and September taking place in the Southeast, players can expect challenging conditions due to the summer heat during the Regular Season finale in Greensboro, NC, and the FedEx Cup playoffs.
The upcoming season is packed with exciting events, starting with The Sentry at Kapalua Resort in Maui, Hawaii, followed by the Sony Open in Hawaii at Waialae Country Club. The schedule includes prestigious tournaments like The Genesis Invitational at The Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, California, and the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard at Arnold Palmer’s Bay Hill Club and Lodge in Orlando, Florida.
Golf enthusiasts can look forward to thrilling competitions, iconic venues, and intense rivalries throughout the 2025 PGA Tour season. With a diverse range of events and top-notch golfing action, the upcoming season promises to be one of the most exciting and memorable ones yet.
