For the 2024 schedule, the PGA Tour has returned to the calendar year after the last observation in 2012. The season will kick off with The Sentry, which is and has been a limited-field, no-cut event. Additionally, one more vent was added to the signature events (formerly known as designated).

The other six signature events are the Genesis Invitational, the Arnold Palmer Invitational, the Wells Fargo Championship, the Memorial Tournament, RBC Heritage, and the Travelers Championship.

Out of the eight signature events, the three player-hosted events will be signature events; however, they will have a 36-hole cut, i.e., the Genesis Invitational hosted by Tiger Woods, the Arnold Palmer Invitational, and the Memorial Tournament hosted by Jack Nicklaus.
