According to Rapaport, the League will begin its first-ever tournament in the second week of June this year. And the first three tournaments will coincide with PGA Tour’s three events.

The RBC Canadian Open that begins on June 6th and the John Deere Classic that begins on June 29 have their dates clashed with the first two Saudi events. Moreover, the third League tournament is set right in the middle of the Rocket Mortgage Classic; the Classic begins on June 28 and ends on July 4th.
