PGA Tour Champions is adding an event, putting a few new wrinkles in play and increasing the prize money for its 2025 season, according to the schedule announced Wednesday.
In all, players will compete in 20 states and three countries for $69 million in prize money, the highest ever in the tour’s history.
New on the tour is the James Hardie Pro Football Hall of Fame Invitational to be played April 4-6 at The Old Course at Broken Sound in Boca Raton, Fla. The event will feature Champions players competing with 26 of football’s greatest names on the first two days, with Sunday being reserved for the pro golfers.
The American Family Insurance Championship is transforming to a team golf format and will be contested June 6-8 at the redesigned TPC Wisconsin.
In all, the schedule consists of 25 events. The tour year begins Jan. 17-19 at the Mitsubishi Electric Championship in Ka’upulehu-Kona, Hawaii, with the players heading to Morocco for the Trophy Hassan II at Royal Golf Dar Es Salam in Rabat over the first weekend in February.
The season culminates in November at the Charles Schwab Cup Championship in Phoenix.
“As we prepare for a thrilling finale to our 2024 season, I’m excited to share the 2025 PGA TOUR Champions schedule,” said Miller Brady, the circuit’s president. “Next season promises even greater heights for the Champions Tour, as we continue to build on the tremendous foundation already in place. The partnership we share with our title sponsors and tournaments is second to none and their support can be seen across our Tour, from the increased purses to the charitable support in the local communities where we play.”
