On Thursday, Golfweek released an exclusive unveiling of the 2024 PGA Tour schedule. It includes 16 “signature” events including the four major championships.
Many of the signature events will not have a 36-hole cut, but the Genesis Invitational, Arnold Palmer Invitational, the Players Championship and the Memorial will feature a Friday afternoon slim down.
While the high-level events are evenly spread throughout the schedule, there is a point where players will have an opportunity to play three in a row: the Memorial, U.S. Open and Travelers Championship. Of course, the three playoff events will be played three weeks in a row, as well.
Here are the 16 signature events on the 2024 Tour schedule, including their dates, host venue and defending champion.
