The 2010 PGA Tour schedule was announced today - the FedEx Cup portion of the schedule, that is; the Fall Series tournaments will be announced later - and despite the economic problems the tour will once again offer 41 events during the 2010 FedEx Cup series.
The doesn't mean the tour hasn't lost sponsors or tournaments. Buick is gone; the Buick Open in Michigan is dead, but the Buick Invitational at Torrey Pines continues on as the Century Club of San Diego Invitational (presumably the tour will continue searching for a title sponsor). US Bank has also departed, and the US Bank Championship in Milwaukee is dead.
But the defunct tournaments are replaced by a new event, the The Greenbrier Classic at the historic Greenbrier Resort in West Virginia; and by the move of the Turning Stone Resort Championship from the Fall Series into the FedEx Cup portion of the schedule.
The dates of the 2010 majors are:
*The Masters: April 8-11
*U.S. Open: June 17-20 (Pebble Beach Golf Links)
*British Open: July 15-18 (The Old Course at St. Andrews)
*PGA Championship: (Whistling Straits)
One oddity of the schedule is the date selected for the Legends Reno-Tahoe Open. That event moves up to the date vacated by the defunct US Bank Championship, the same week as the British Open. What's odd about that? It's also the same week as the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship at Tahoe, which is played, figuratively speaking, across the street from the Reno-Tahoe Open. And the celeb tournament gets network TV coverage.
