The PGA Tour will return to Asheville, North Carolina, for the first time since 1939, bringing a renewed spotlight to the scenic Blue Ridge Mountains. Officials announced that the city will host a FedEx Cup Fall event beginning in September of next year, marking a significant milestone in the history of professional golf in the region.
This marks the first PGA Tour-sanctioned competition in Asheville in more than eight decades. The upcoming tournament will be part of the FedEx Cup Fall schedule, a series of events played after the PGA Tour’s regular season and playoffs. The tournament aims to provide additional competition opportunities for players while engaging fans during the autumn portion of the golf calendar.
Details about the exact dates, official tournament name, and host course have not yet been released, though organizers stated that these will be shared in the coming months. The event is expected to draw an international field of PGA Tour professionals and inject fresh energy into Asheville’s sporting and tourism sectors.
Asheville last welcomed the PGA Tour in 1939, when different tournament structures and sponsorship models shaped the competitive landscape. The return of the Tour underscores Asheville’s growing profile as a destination for major sporting events, as well as the PGA Tour’s ongoing efforts to expand its geographic reach within the United States.
Local leaders and golf enthusiasts expressed enthusiasm for the announcement. City representatives cited the region’s natural beauty, vibrant culture, and strong community support as factors that make Asheville an ideal location for a professional tournament.
The addition of the Asheville event enhances the FedEx Cup Fall schedule, providing fans and players with another tournament in a distinctive setting. Watch for further announcements regarding the specifics of the event, including player commitments, tournament format, and ticket information.
