MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The broad strokes of next year’s PGA Tour schedule are still being digested, and players will certainly have plenty of questions Tuesday afternoon when they meet with commissioner Jay Monahan at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, but initial reaction to the new lineup has touched on some areas of interest.
Monday’s announcement outlined a 36-event schedule with eight signature events and a return to a calendar-year lineup. It also represents one of the most dramatically altered schedules since the introduction of the FedExCup in 2007, with significant tinkering to create a better cadence between full-field and signature events (which were called designated events this season).
