The Pebble Beach Pro-Am will become a “signature” event on the 2024 US PGA Tour schedule released on Monday even as a merger framework agreement with LIV Golf remains unresolved.
The PGA Tour unveiled a line-up of 36 tournaments in a calendar-year schedule for the first time since 2012, including eight signature events, what were termed designated events in the just-ended 2023 regular season.
Top players such as Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm were required to play in the special events or forfeit bonus money, ensuring showdowns of many of golf’s top-ranked stars throughout the season at events beyond the major championships.
There was no sign of LIV Golf events in next year’s program despite the controversial merger plan announced in June.
