The Magnolia Classic was first played in the 1968 season of the PGA Tour. Over the years, it was sponsored by many brands before Sanderson Farms finally took over in 2013. However, the tournament will be discontinued this year. The 2026 schedule of the PGA Tour has just been released, and it doesn’t include the Sanderson Farm Championship.

As shared in the graphic by the PGA Tour, the FedEx Cup Fall 2026 season will host eight events. This is a big change, considering that last year, they only had seven events.

The Fall season has included three new events in the schedule. However, they have also removed two tournaments from it. Notably, the Sanderson Farms Championship and the Procore Championship will no longer be played after the FedEx Cup Playoffs.

Instead, the PGA Tour season will conclude with the Good Good Championship. The popular YouTube golf channel had been confirmed as a tournament sponsor late last year. Alternatively, the Biltmore Championship has also been added to the schedule. Lastly, the VidantaWorld Mexico Open, which was held in February 2025, has been moved to the last week of October in 2026.

Despite the added event, the Fall season this year won’t end later than it did in 2025. Last season, the PGA Tour concluded in the third week of November, and the same will happen this year as well.

However, considering the PGA Tour’s plans to cut down on the events from 2027, was it a good decision to add more events to the Fall schedule?

According to recent statements by Tiger Woods, it seems that the new PGA Tour events might not have a long run on the calendar.

Has the PGA Tour only signed one-season contracts with new event sponsors?

Apparently, Procore and Wayne-Sanderson Farms’ deal with the PGA Tour ended in 2025. As the PGA Tour moves towards a major change for a shorter event schedule in 2027, they still needed title sponsors to fill in the FedEx Cup Fall events this season.

It would have been wise to sign a one-year contract with a title sponsor. But that’s not the case with both the new event sponsors, Good Good Golf and Biltmore. In fact, the PGA Tour has signed multi-year contract with both the brands.

Brian Rolapp has signed a four-year deal with Biltmore to be a title sponsor of the Biltmore Championship at The Cliffs at Walnut Cove. The terms of the Good Good Championship are not confirmed, but it’s certain that it’s a multiyear deal.

So if the PGA Tour schedule is cut down to 20-25 events in 2027, then the Biltmore Championship and the Good Good Championship will likely be a part of it.
