2026 PGA Tour Signature Events History: Dates, Prize Money, Purse, Payouts.
What are the ‘Signature events’ on the PGA TOUR?
PGA Tour designated, with New name Signature Events are overall 8-9 tournaments throughout the year that will have all of the best players competing for increased big money purses.
PGA Tour signature events — 9 tours for the 2026 season — are limited-field tournaments with increased prize money (20 million purse) and FedExCup points (700 points to the winner).
In 2023, they were referred to as designated events.
The Sentry was the season’s first signature event and included PGA Tour winners from the previous calendar year, as well as the top 50 members from the 2024 FedExCup standings. Chris Kirk was the eventual champion.
The three player-hosted invitationals (The Genesis Invitational, Arnold Palmer Invitational and the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday) will feature a 36-hole cut to the top 50 and ties and any player within 10 shots of the lead, and a redistribution of prize money that allocates 20 percent to the winner ($4 million), up from 18 percent.
The remaining five signature events will not have a cut and will continue to allocate 18 percent to the winner.
