Schwab Cup Heads To Papago Golf Club In 2027

PHOENIX — The Charles Schwab Cup Championship will move to Papago Golf Club in Phoenix in 2027, PGA TOUR Champions announced.

The Tour’s published schedule lists competition for Nov. 12–14 at the city-owned municipal course. Papago will replace Phoenix Country Club as the season finale’s host.

The relocation follows Phoenix Country Club’s plans for a yearlong, multimillion-dollar renovation in 2027.

PGA TOUR Champions President Miller Brady said in the announcement that Papago’s “challenging layout and rich history make it an ideal venue for our season finale.”

The City of Phoenix owns Papago, which Troon manages. The Arizona Golf Community Foundation leases the course and oversees its business and operations, according to organizers.

Papago Golf Club opened in 1963 with a design by William Francis “Billy” Bell. The public course sits among Papago Park’s distinctive red sandstone buttes.

Since then, Papago has hosted the 1971 U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship and the 2009 J Golf Phoenix LPGA International.

Papago also has hosted numerous Phoenix Open qualifying events, according to the course’s website.

An $8 million renovation in 2008 helped reshape the municipal facility. Today, Papago serves as the home course for Arizona State University’s men’s and women’s golf teams.

Phoenix Country Club has hosted the championship since 2017. Its 2026 tournament, scheduled Nov. 12–15, marks the event’s 10th consecutive year there, organizers said.

The 2027 championship will conclude a three-event playoff series following a 24-event regular season, according to the Tour.

The playoffs begin with the Stifel Charity Classic in St. Louis, Oct. 22–24. The Simmons Bank Championship follows in Little Rock, Arkansas, Oct. 29–31.

Papago then hosts the final stop, where the season-long Charles Schwab Cup race will conclude.
