PGA Tour unveils 2018-19 schedule
The PGA Tour has released its schedule for the 2018-19 season. There were a few notable changes to the schedule.
First, the Players Championship moves from May to March, while the PGA Championship will move from August to May and become the second major of the season.
Second, the TPC Boston FedExCup Playoffs event has been dropped from the schedule (it will alternate between the Boston area and New York/New Jersey area beginning in 2019), making the Playoffs a three-event series instead of four. The season-ending Tour Championship will finish August 25 – roughly one month earlier than usual.
