Overview
- The PGA Tour confirmed on Wednesday that The Sentry at Torrey Pines will be part of the new top‑tier Championship Series when it launches in 2028.
- Sompo will title‑sponsor a premier event played at Silverado Resort in Napa in 2027 that the Tour says will move to a new market for the 2028 Championship Series and will carry at least $20 million purses.
- The Travelers Championship has also been confirmed as a Championship Series event, giving the Tour an early core of high‑profile tournaments for the 2028 season.
- The Tour expects the Championship Series to run about 23–24 events from February through August alongside a roughly 20‑event Challenger Series with promotion and relegation, and it has set minimum purse targets for the tiers.
- Key operational and commercial questions remain unresolved, including Official World Golf Ranking treatment, playoff seeding, how feeder tours will feed the Challenger path, and unconfirmed reports about large sponsor commitments that could reshape costs for title partners and smaller tournaments.
