And just like that, the new season begins! It's the return of the PGA Tour, after a very short two-week break, and the 2022/23 season gets underway. Don't get too used to this format however, as this is the final time we'll see this “fall-wraparound season” before the new changes are implemented and the 2024 season will return to a calendar-year schedule.
Anyway, we have loads of time to delve into the changes as they happen because this week it's off to wine country for the Fortinet Championship. Silverado Resort & Spa in Napa Valley hosts the tournament, which was won by Cali resident Max Homa last year.
We'll see a lot of new names in the field this week, as the Korn Ferry Tour graduates begin their PGA Tour careers. It'll also be a final tune-up for many of the Presidents Cup team members, which takes place next week at Quail Hollow in North Carolina.
