Pga tour champions 2023 schedule features return to coachella valley and morocco — and a record $66 million in prize money, share this article.

Bigger and better.

That’s the theme of the 2023 PGA Tour Champions schedule, which features the return of an overseas stop and as well as the first event in Coachella Valley since 1993.

The headliner, though, is another record amount of prize money as there will be $66 million up for grabs in 2023 at 28 events — 25 during the regular season and three tournaments that make up the Charles Schwab Cup Playoffs. That’s up $4 million from the 2022 season.

“Thanks to the strength of our tournament and title sponsors, the future and stability of PGA Tour Champions has never been more secure,” PGA Tour Champions president Miller Brady said in a statement. “We are thrilled to have the highest purses in PGA Tour Champions history and to be able to bring the game of golf to the many wonderful venues on this Tour.”

In all, the 2023 slate will see tournaments in 20 states and three countries.

There is one new tournament on the schedule in 2023, the Galleri Classic, which will be held in Rancho Mirage, California, at the historic Mission Hills Country Club. In 2022, Mission Hills hosted an LPGA major for the last time.

Now the southern California desert will sub in the Champions tour, which was last in the area in 1993 when the Gulfstream Aerospace Invitational — won by Raymond Floyd — was played for the final time at Indian Wells Golf Resort.

There will be five majors once again. The first two are back-to-back events (with a week off in between) on the schedule in May. The remaining three are also consecutive events on the schedule but they will also have a week off in between.
