2017–18 PGA Tour
Golf tour season
The 2017–18 PGA Tour was the 103rd season of the PGA Tour , the main professional golf tour in the United States. It was also the 50th season since separating from the PGA of America , and the 12th edition of the FedEx Cup .
Changes for 2017–18
The schedule contained 48 events, including two new tournaments; the CJ Cup in South Korea and the Corales Puntacana Resort and Club Championship , a former event on the Web.com Tour based in the Dominican Republic. The Barbasol Championship was played in Kentucky, the first non-major PGA Tour event in the state since 1959. The Puerto Rico Open became an unofficial charity event in the wake of Hurricane Maria .[1]
