Memorial Tournament Joins PGA Tour’s New Elite Series | Cleveland News

The Memorial Tournament is set to join the PGA Tour’s new Championship Series starting in 2028, becoming one of 23-24 elite events that will define the top tier of professional golf.

Organizers are thrilled to honor the tournament’s legacy—dating back to Jack and Barbara Nicklaus’ 1976 vision—while elevating competition and community impact. With marquee events like the Players Championship and Ryder Cup also part of this series, fans can expect more high-stakes, consistent action as the PGA Tour redefines its future.
