PGA Tour 2023 fall schedule to include seven tournaments, $56.6 million in purses

The PGA Tour announced its fall 2023 schedule on Wednesday. There will be seven events “that will provide greater drama and more immediate consequence than ever before” with purses totaling $56.6 million.

The fall slate, which is a continuation of the spring season for the first time since 2013, will run from September through November with a break for the Ryder Cup. 

Jon Rahm has been dominant so far during the 2023 season. The Spaniard is coming off his first Masters win, which brings his championship total this year up to four.

He’s not the only one making headlines so far this season as Tiger Woods made his PGA Tour return at the Genesis Invitational. He attempted to play at the Masters, but withdrew midway through the third round at Augusta after he fell to last place while in “constant” pain.

Besides the $56.6 million that will be handed out to the winners of the seven PGA Tour events this fall, there is a two-year exemption and entry into the first designated event and the Sentry Tournament of Champions. There will be 500 FedExCup points awarded to the winner of each event. There is also an increased chance of players earning eligibility to participate in The Players Championship. 

OPINION:Thank you, Jon Rahm, for Masters win and keeping the green jacket away from a LIV golfer
