Scottie Scheffler’s 2026 schedule will open in California with The American Express as his first event of the year. Following that, he will compete in the Waste Management Phoenix Open in Arizona before returning to California for the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and The Genesis Invitational held at Riviera Country Club near Los Angeles in February.
Early-Year Tournament Participation and Florida Events
After his appearances in California and Arizona, Scheffler will enter a series of competitions during the PGA Tour’s Florida Swing, including the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players Championship, which serve as important lead-ups to the Masters Tournament. His schedule indicates continued participation in high-profile tournaments leading into the major championships.
Major Championships and Additional Key Events
Scheffler is expected to play in all four major championships throughout the year, including the Masters and the U.S. Open at Pinehurst in June. Outside these majors, he will likely take part in the Truist Championship in May. June will be particularly busy, featuring the Memorial Tournament in Ohio, the U.S. Open, and the Travelers Championship.
Playoffs and Late-Year Competitions
As the season progresses, Scheffler is anticipated to compete in all three FedEx Cup playoff events. After the conclusion of the playoffs, he will mostly rest during the fall, except for participating in the Presidents Cup scheduled at Medinah in Chicago later in the year.
