PGA Tour unveils schedule
The PGA Tour released its 2009 schedule Tuesday for the regular season that features 25 tournaments with at least $6 million purses and a newly configured “Texas swing” of three events in the spring.
Still to be determined are details on a revamped FedEx Cup, and whether to take a week off before the Tour Championship.
Once that is decided, the tour said it would release the rest of its Fall Series schedule.
By announcing the majority of the schedule, the tour put to rest speculation that some tournaments might be in jeopardy because of the economy. The title sponsors are under contract at least through 2010, and most of them have slight increases in prize money built into their agreements.
Among those that kept prize money the same were the FBR Open and Travelers Championship, both at $6 million.
