PGA Tour Adds Biltmore Championship to 2026 FedEx Cup Fall in Asheville

A four-year co-title deal with Biltmore Estate plus Explore Asheville positions the tournament as a tourism showcase.

Overview

  • The inaugural event is set for September 17–20, 2026 at The Cliffs at Walnut Cove, a Jack Nicklaus-designed course near Asheville.
  • It marks the PGA Tour’s first stop in Asheville since 1942, nodding to the Land of the Sky/Asheville Open era that included three straight Ben Hogan wins starting in 1940.
  • Organizers confirmed co-title sponsorship through 2030 and project more than 100 players, thousands of spectators and millions in direct local spending, with national coverage on Golf Channel, ESPN+ and SiriusXM.
  • With Charlotte and Greensboro already on the calendar, the addition makes North Carolina one of the few states hosting three annual PGA Tour events.
  • The Biltmore Championship joins the newly announced Good Good Championship on the 2026 fall slate, a segment where many players compete to retain or improve PGA Tour status.
