New Format... 'PGA Tour Fall Series'

7 Tournaments Including Fortinet Championship Start on the 14th
Winners Receive 2-Year Seeds and Major Tournament Entry Rights
Players Without Seeds Compete to Survive in Division 1

The PGA Tour is returning with its 'Fall Series.'

Starting on the 14th (local time) and lasting for four days, the Fortinet Championship (total prize money of $8.4 million) will be held at Silverado Resort and Spa in Napa, California (par 72, 7,123 yards). Seven official tournaments and three unofficial events will continue through December. The official tournaments include the Fortinet Championship, the Sanderson Farms Championship in October, the Shriners Children's Open, the Zozo Championship, and in November, the Worldwide Technology Championship, the Bermuda Championship, and the RSM Classic.

Starting next year, the PGA Tour, which will switch to a "single-year" system, will enter the "Fall Series" beginning with the Fortinet Championship on the 14th.

The PGA Tour is facing new changes. From the 2013/2014 season through the 2022/2023 season, the schedule operated with a fall start and ended around August of the following year, but starting in 2024, it will switch to a 'single-year' format beginning in January. Each year, the regular season and playoffs will run from January to around August, followed by the Fall Series.

Among the seven official Fall Series tournaments, players receive the same benefits as in other regular tour events. Winners are granted a two-year PGA Tour card, eligibility for the season-opening 'Tournament of Champions' in January, the 'fifth major' The Players Championship, and qualification for major championships.

For players who have not yet secured their tour cards, performance in the Fall Series is crucial. Next year's PGA Tour will consist of the top 70 players from the 2022/2023 FedEx Cup standings plus the top 125 players when including the Fall Series FedEx Cup points. This is the last chance to retain status on the regular tour. Six players ranked within the top 50 of the FedEx Cup will participate in this Fortinet Championship. South Korea’s players on the list include Lee Kyoung-hoon (FedEx Cup 77th), Kim Sung-hyun (83rd), Noh Seung-yul (158th), Kang Sung-hoon (193rd), and Bae Sang-moon (226th).
