The 2017–18 PGA Tour was the 103rd season of the PGA Tour, the main professional golf tour in the United States. It was also the 50th season since separating from the PGA of America, and the 12th edition of the FedEx Cup.
Changes for 2017–18 The schedule contained 48 events, including two new tournaments; the CJ Cup in South Korea and the Corales Puntacana Resort and Club Championship, a former event on the Web.com Tour based in the Dominican Republic. The Barbasol Championship was played in Kentucky, the first non-major PGA Tour event in the state since 1959. The Puerto Rico Open became an unofficial charity event in the wake of Hurricane Maria.
