PGA Tour Champions announced the 2019 tournament schedule, featuring 27 events and culminating with the 30th annual Charles Schwab Cup Championship. The 24-event Regular Season will again highlight the Charles Schwab Cup Playoffs, which will be used to determine the season-long champion. The Tour will contest events in four countries and 19 states in its 40th season, with total prize money of nearly $58 million.

The 2019 season will begin with the Mitsubishi Electric Championship at Hualalai the week of January 14-19 (Saturday finish), where 2017 PGA TOUR Champions Rookie of the Year Jerry Kelly will be the defending champion.

The Tour will welcome a handful of new players next year, including two-time U.S. Open champion and 2019 World Golf Hall of Fame inductee Retief Goosen of South Africa, as well as two-time major champion Angel Cabrera of Argentina.
