The PGA TOUR's new 2024 schedule signals a seismic shift in the future of the professional game.
Gone is the wraparound season of the FedEx Cup, meaning the season and its point chase will officially start in January in Maui, a nod to tradition. Everything else feels new - 8 "Signature" events with no cuts, at least one new tournament, old ones with new dates and a crowded calendar thanks to the return of the Olympics in August and the Presidents Cup in September.
The good news for everyday players like you and me is many of the venues are still open to the public - 22 of the 39 tournaments showcase a public course (or two in the case of three California events). Two of golf's three roaming major championships will be held on courses anybody can play - the U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2 and The Open Championship at Royal Troon - plus the Olympics at Le Golf National, site of the 2018 Ryder Cup.
Despite all the changes, we thankfully can still play where the pros play, as long as we're willing to pay for it. Here's a look:
