The PGA Tour released its 2010
schedule on Tuesday with a full slate of 37 regular-season events before the
FedEx Cup Playoffs.
"We are very pleased to announce our schedule through the 2010 FedEx Cup
season," said PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem. "Despite difficult economic
times we once again have a full slate of events and look forward to yet
another exciting season for the PGA Tour."
The FedEx Cup season begins with the SBS Championship in Kapalua, Hawaii, from
January 7-10. The regular season ends with the Wyndham Championship August
19-22.
The four Playoff events remain the same with the The Barclays leading off
August 26-29, followed by the Deutsche Bank Championship, BMW Championship, a
week off, then the Tour Championship from September 23-26.
The PGA Tour will release the Fall Series lineup at a later date.
There were some changes made to the 2010 schedule.
The Greenbrier Classic will debut the last week of July at the Greenbrier
Resort in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. The Turning Stone Resort
Championship moved from the Fall Series to the FedEx Cup regular season on the
first week of August and the Reno-Tahoe Open will get an earlier date opposite
the British Open Championship at St. Andrews, which will take place July
