Changes to the 2026 FedEx Cup Fall Schedule: What You Need to Know
Napa, California – Scottie Scheffler’s recent victory at the Procore Championship in September raised an unexpected question about his future tournament commitments. The current World No. 1 was in Napa primarily for a Ryder Cup tune-up, narrowly defeating teammate Ben Griffin while Lanto Griffin took third. Despite the win, Scheffler’s participation in the Procore Championship remains uncertain as it is not a regular stop on his calendar.
Scheffler expressed his hesitance regarding future commitments: “I barely know what I’m going to do tomorrow, let alone a year from now. It’s always nice to have an opportunity to come and defend your championships, but we’ll have to cross that bridge when we get there. I’ve been pretty consistent with that over time. I don’t like committing to tournaments unless I know for sure I’m going to play.”
However, this uncertainty evaporated when the PGA Tour announced its 2026 FedEx Cup Fall Schedule, which notably does not include the Procore Championship. In addition to this, the Sanderson Farms Championship in Jackson, Mississippi, has also been removed from the lineup. This tournament has been a staple of the PGA Tour since 1968.
