The PGA Tour’s inaugural Austin Championship will be played Nov. 12-15 at Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa’s Fazio Canyons Course, marking the Tour’s return to Austin for the first time since 2023. The 72-hole event is the penultimate stop of the FedExCup Fall, with a $6 million purse and valuable points as players compete to finish in the season’s top 100 and secure full Tour status for 2027. The field includes two-time fall winner Austin Smotherman, Max Homa, Billy Horschel, Brian Harman, Lucas Glover and promising young players; four additional golfers can earn places through an 18-hole qualifier.
