The Pebble Beach Pro-Am will become a "signature" event on the 2024 U.S. PGA Tour schedule released on Monday, even as a merger framework agreement with LIV Golf remains unresolved.
The PGA Tour unveiled a lineup of 36 tournaments in a calendar-year schedule for the first time since 2012, including eight signature events, what were termed "designated" events in the just-ended 2023 regular season.
Top players such as Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm were required to play in the special events or forfeit bonus money, ensuring showdowns of many of golf's top-ranked stars throughout the season at events beyond the major championships.
