The Olympics will be next summer, so the PGA Tour has to move some tournaments around that event. Here are the pertinent changes for next season.
*Season starts at Greenbrier in mid-September. Houston Open also moves to the fall. New event in Japan takes the place of the event that used to be in Malaysia.
*Everything from the start of January through the Masters (West Coast Swing and Florida Swing) is the same as this past season.
*Rocket Mortgage Classic in Detroit moves from July to the last full week in May.
*The WGC event in Memphis moves into the Rocket Mortgage slot, 2 weeks after the US Open and 2 weeks before the Open Championship.
*3M Championship in Minnesota moves from 2 weeks prior to the Open Championship this year to the week after the Open Championship next year.
*The Olympic men's golf tournament is the week after the 3M event.
*First playoff event of the year returns to TPC Boston as that event will alternate years between TPC Boston and a New York metro area course.
I think the WGC Memphis event will feel a little better in the new date instead of right after the Open Championship. Maybe the Rocket Mortgage field is a little better than this year because it's the week before Memorial? The 3M event absolutely got the shaft, I highly doubt any guy playing in the Olympics is going to want to do England -> Minnesota -> Tokyo in 3 straight weeks.
The subplot outside of the PGA Tour is that they moved the WGC Memphis to the week where the European Tour has been playing the Irish Open for the past few years. I love that links stretch they have in Europe that goes Irish, Scottish, then the Open, but forcing the Irish guys to pick between a WGC and the Irish Open is not going to be pretty.
