So…

PGA Tour Releases 2021-22 Season

 

• Two WGC’s are gone from the schedule. Only two remain and those are hanging by a thread, with constant rumblings about the match play’s future and an asterisk next to this fall’s HSBC event in China.
• New York and Boston no longer will have their joint PGA Tour stop after this August, to be replaced by the FedEx St Jude event as the FedExCup playoff opener.
• Genesis takes over Scottish Open sponsorship from abhrnt and becomes a co-sanctioned event between the PGA Tour and European Tour, with similar “joint” status given to the Barbasol and Barracuda Championship.

In terms of scheduling, the most significant piece of collaboration is the fact that three tournaments will be co-sanctioned in 2022 and therefore count on both the PGA TOUR’s FedExCup and the European Tour’s Race to Dubai next season: the Barbasol Championship; the Barracuda Championship; and the Genesis Scottish Open.

The latter event also has a new title sponsor in Genesis, the luxury automotive brand from South Korea, who will now title sponsor two tournaments on the PGA TOUR, with the Genesis Scottish Open joining The Genesis Invitational, which Genesis has titled since 2017; The Genesis Invitational will once again be played at The Riviera Country Club next year (February 14-20).

The Genesis Scottish Open (July 4-10), which is part of the European Tour’s Rolex Series, retains its place in golf’s global calendar the week ahead of The Open Championship (July 11-17), a date confirmed through to 2025. The player field will be a split between members of both Tours.

…

In addition to the Genesis Scottish Open being co-sanctioned, there will also be access for 50 European Tour members to each of two PGA TOUR events in 2022 for the first time – the Barbasol Championship, which will be played concurrently with the Genesis Scottish Open, and the Barracuda Championship, which will be played alongside the following week’s 150th Open Championship at St. Andrews. Both events will be added to the Race to Dubai for European Tour members.
