PGA Tournament Strategy Update: Key changes that reshape your 2026 season
www.pga.infoHere’s the latest on the 2026 PGA Professional Championship.
-
The 2026 PGA Professional Championship is set for April 26–29 at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort in Oregon. The event features a large field of PGA Professionals from across the PGA Sections, with live Golf Channel coverage and live scoring on PGA.com. This continues the tradition of the tournament as the pathway for PGA Professionals to earn a spot in the PGA Championship, and it showcases top national-level professional skill.[7]

Regional sections are sending multiple qualifiers to Bandon Dunes. For example, the New England PGA is sending a notable contingent to compete at the national championship, which will be broadcast and followed with live scoring during the week. This indicates broad sectional participation and ongoing coverage across outlets that follow professional golf in the U.S..[2]

Related context: the broader 2026 PGA Tour ecosystem includes schedule and strategy updates for professional golf, though the PPC is distinct as a national championship for PGA Professionals rather than tour players. The PPC is publicly framed as the premier all-professional national championship with a pathway to the PGA Championship.[7]
If you’d like, I can pull the exact participant list by section or provide a day-by-day schedule and TV/radio viewing times for Golf Channel coverage. Would you like that?
