MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Monday’s rollout of the 2024 PGA Tour schedule was overshadowed by a particularly hectic week in professional golf and earlier reports of the circuit’s plan to create a better “cadence” to the season, but one anomaly that was largely overlooked was the positioning of the WM Phoenix Open.
Next year’s schedule is an example of how the Tour hopes to create a flow to the season with groups of “signature” events surrounded by full-field tournaments with the WM Phoenix Open being the lone exception.
The event at TPC Scottsdale – which has become a staple of Super Bowl weekend with Sunday’s final round serving as a pregame to the big game – will be played the week after the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and the week before The Genesis Invitational, both signature events.
