The PGA Tour dropped its 2026 FedExCup Fall schedule on Friday, and there’s plenty to get excited about. Two brand-new tournaments are joining the lineup, along with a revamped Mexico swing that should make for compelling television down the stretch.
New Stops in Asheville and Austin
For the first time, the fall season kicks off in North Carolina with the Biltmore Championship Asheville, running September 14-20 at The Cliffs at Walnut Cove. The event is sponsored by Biltmore Estate, and while the document mentions this venue hosted previous iterations of an Asheville event, it’s a fresh addition to the fall calendar’s opening slot.
But the real buzz centers on Austin’s return to the PGA Tour map. The Good Good Championship arrives November 9-15 at Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa, marking the tour’s first visit to Texas’s capital city in three years. Good Good, the wildly popular entertainment and lifestyle brand, is putting its name on a full-fledged tour event. Brad Dalke from Good Good stopped by “The Drop” to discuss the brand’s newest venture, and you can feel the enthusiasm building around this one.
Mexico Gets a Proper Swing
The Mexico portion of the schedule got a serious upgrade. Players will now hit two stops south of the border, starting with the Vidanta Vallarta Mexico Open at VidantaWorld Golf Course from October 26 through November 1. Then it’s off to Los Cabos for the World Wide Technology Championship at El Cardonal at Diamante, the Tiger Woods-designed course that players have been raving about since it opened.
Tyler Dennis, the PGA Tour’s Chief Competitions Officer, summed up the vision nicely: “The PGA Tour is pleased to unveil its 2026 FedExCup Fall schedule, introducing exciting new U.S. events in addition to the global appeal of stops in Japan, Mexico and Bermuda. Fans can expect rich storylines to unfold across the FedExCup Fall as players look to secure or improve their status for the following season.”
The Presidents Cup Takes Center Stage
Right in the middle of all this, golf fans get the 16th Presidents Cup at Medinah Country Club in Chicago, September 21-27. The United States Team faces off against the International Team at one of golf’s most storied venues. Medinah’s Course No. 3 has hosted everything from multiple U.S. Opens to PGA Championships and a Ryder Cup. This will be the sixth different venue for the Presidents Cup, adding another chapter to Medinah’s already impressive resume.
The Rest of the Fall Lineup
Between the new events and the Presidents Cup, the familiar faces of fall golf return. The Black Desert Championship in Utah, the Baycurrent Classic in Yokohama, Japan, and the Butterfield Bermuda Championship in Southampton round out the schedule. Each tournament offers 500 FedExCup points and a $6 million purse, giving players real incentive to finish strong.
The RSM Classic at Sea Island Golf Club in St. Simons Island, Georgia, closes out the FedExCup Fall on November 16-22. That’s where the final standings get locked in and players learn their fate for the 2027 season.
What It All Means
This schedule matters because it determines who gets to play next year and who’s headed back to the drawing board. The fall has always been about second chances and last-ditch efforts, but with these new venues and the international flavor, it’s becoming appointment viewing.
All eight FedExCup Fall events will be produced from PGA Tour Studios, ensuring consistent coverage across the domestic and international stops. After the fall wraps, the Challenge Season begins with Tiger’s Hero World Challenge, followed by the mixed-team Grant Thornton Invitational and the always-entertaining PNC Championship.
The 2026 fall schedule shows the tour is thinking globally while strengthening its domestic footprint. Austin’s back on the map, Asheville gets its moment, and Mexico becomes a legitimate two-week destination rather than a quick stopover. Not bad for what used to be golf’s forgotten season.
