The PGA Tour announced its fall schedule for the 2025 FedEx Cup on Tuesday, and the trip to Las Vegas is off the slate for the first time since 1982.
The seven-tournament series begins two weeks after the Tour Championship with a date at the Procore Championship on September 11-14 in Napa, California. The schedule takes a two-week break that includes the Ryder Cup and will resume on Oct. 2-5 at the Sanderson Farms Championship in Jackson, Mississippi.
A PGA Tour event in Japan with a new title sponsor and home begins with the Baycurrent Classic on Oct. 9-12 in Yokohama.
The FedEx Cup fall schedule is used to determine PGA Tour eligibility for the following season.
“Building on an incredibly compelling FedExCup Fall, the upcoming eligibility changes drive more drama and excitement for fans, with more at stake for players than ever before,” said Tyler Dennis, PGA Tour chief tournament officer.
“With events in four US states, Japan, Mexico and Bermuda, the conclusion of the 2025 golf calendar promises to delight our fans around the world, and have a lasting impact on the communities in which we will play.”
The Black Desert Championship in Southern Utah will be contested from Oct. 23-26, however the Shriners Children’s Open — a PGA Tour staple since 1983 — is no longer on the schedule. The Shriners withdrew as title sponsors in October.
The tournament began in 1983 as a five-round event known as the Panasonic Las Vegas Pro-Celebrity Classic, with Fuzzy Zoeller winning at the Las Vegas Country Club. The following year, the name was changed to the Panasonic Las Vegas Invitational, Denis Watson of Zimbabwe was the winner as the event became the first in PGA Tour history to offer a $1 million prize pool.
The event has been shortened to 72 holes since 2004.
The final three official events will be the World Wide Technology Championship (Nov. 6-9) in Los Cabos, Mexico, the Butterfield Bermuda Championship (Nov. 13-16) and the RSM Classic (Nov. 20-23 ) at Sea Island (Georgia) Golf Club.
