These are the 16 signature events on the PGA Tour’s 2024 schedule

On Thursday, Golfweek released an exclusive unveiling of the 2024 PGA Tour schedule. It includes 16 “signature” events including the four major championships.

Many of the signature events will not have a 36-hole cut, but the Genesis Invitational, Arnold Palmer Invitational, the Players Championship and the Memorial will feature a Friday afternoon slim down.

While the high-level events are evenly spread throughout the schedule, there is a point where players will have an opportunity to play three in a row: the Memorial, U.S. Open and Travelers Championship. Of course, the three playoff events will be played three weeks in a row, as well.

Here are the 16 signature events on the 2024 Tour schedule, including their dates, host venue and defending champion.
