AUSTIN (KXAN) — The PGA Tour is returning to Austin in 2026 for a new fall tournament called the Good Good Championship. The tournament is set for Nov. 9-Nov. 15, 2026, at Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa’s Fazio Canyons Course, according to Monday’s press release.
This will be Austin’s first PGA event in three years after the World Golf Championships-Dell Technologies Match Play was removed from the schedule following the 2023 tournament.
Good Good, which is the tournament title sponsor, is a popular golf influencer and media company. The release said Good Good and the PGA Tour have a multi-year agreement.
“The PGA TOUR is proud to return to the great City of Austin for the first time since 2023 for the Good Good Championship, an exciting new event as part of the FedExCup Fall,” said Tyler Dennis, PGA TOUR Chief Competitions Officer. “We are pleased to partner with Good Good Golf and Omni Hotels & Resorts on this unique event as the PGA TOUR further connects and engages with our game’s younger fans.”
The Good Good Championship is a FedExCup Fall event with 120 players in the field and 500 FedExCup points going to the winner.

A brief PGA Tour pause in Austin
American Sam Burns won the final WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play in March 2023 over Cameron Young. Burns’ dominant 6 & 5 victory over Young marked the end of a seven tournament, eight-year partnership between the PGA and Austin Country Club.
The match play event was removed as the PGA Tour went through a revamping of its schedule for 2024. The tournament raised more than $7 million for local charities from 2016 to 2023.
Some of the world’s top golfers won match play at Austin Country Club, including Scottie Scheffler, Dustin Johnson and Jason Day.
