The new PGA Tour Austin Championship is being played at Omni Barton Creek in Texas, with 120 golfers competing in a 72-hole event. As the second-to-last stop in the FedEx Fall series, it is a key opportunity for players seeking to finish in the top 100 and secure 2027 Tour cards; Chandler Phillips entered the week at No. 100, with Jason Day at No. 101. The field includes Jackson Koivun, who tees off in the first round at 1:13 p.m. ET, and Blades Brown, coming off a historic first PGA Tour victory. The tournament uses a 36-hole cut to the top 65 players and ties, with later-round pairings based on scores; a tie after 72 holes will be settled by sudden death on the 18th. First-round coverage is available on Golf Channel, with PGA Tour Live on ESPN+ also carrying coverage.
