AUSTIN, Texas – The PGA Tour is set to return to Austin with a new event called the Good Good Championship, scheduled to take place from November 12-15, 2026. This tournament will be sponsored by Good Good Golf, a prominent YouTube golf brand with nearly 2 million subscribers. The event will feature a competitive field of 120 players and the winner will be awarded 500 FedEx Cup points, similar to what players receive in regular-season Tour events. Coverage for the championship will be provided by the Golf Channel and ESPN+.
The announcement of the Good Good Championship marks a significant return of professional golf to Austin, filling the void left after the WGC Match Play was discontinued in 2023. The tournament will be held at the Fazio Canyons Course at Omni Barton Creek Resort and Spa. Previously, the PGA Tour hosted the Dell Technologies Match Play at Austin Country Club from 2016 to 2023.
While the PGA Tour’s fall events generally do not attract the top players, they offer an opportunity for golfers who are not in the upper echelon of the FedEx Cup standings to secure a place on the Tour. The sponsorship deal between Good Good Golf and the PGA Tour is part of a multi-year partnership, although the specific cost of the Good Good sponsorship has not been disclosed. Title sponsorships for full-field PGA Tour events typically range between $12-15 million, but fall events may be less expensive.
This sponsorship follows Good Good Golf’s recent $45 million fundraising round aimed at enhancing its presence in various sectors, including content, retail, and live events. The PGA Tour is looking to connect with and engage younger fans through this initiative, with Good Good Golf’s CEO stating that the tournament intends to unite social and live communities passionate about golf.
In terms of format, the PGA Tour is experimenting with its fall competition calendar, and the Good Good Championship will be one of two new additions to the 2026 fall schedule. The other addition is the Mexico Open, which will be moving from its traditional spring slot. This new event is anticipated to further contribute to the Tour’s overall television rights agreements, generating roughly $700 million annually. The Golf Channel will be responsible for managing the linear television coverage for the championship.
