The PGA Tour is ready to get weird again in Austin, Texas.

The Tour returns to the Hill Country for the first time since the 2023 WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play as it stages the second-to-last event of the FedEx Cup Fall schedule.

The inaugural Austin Championship will be played Nov. 12-15 on the Fazio Canyons Course at Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa.

The field features a distinct Texas flavor, highlighted by five former University of Texas players: Pierceson Coody, Doug Ghim, Beau Hossler, Christiaan Maas and Tommy Morrison. Maas and Morrison received two of the tournament's four sponsor exemptions.

The tournament also includes former Southern Methodist University standout Austin Smotherman, who remains a Dallas resident and has won each of his last two starts this fall. Rising stars Jackson Koivun, the 3M Open champion and member of the victorious U.S. Presidents Cup team; PGA Tour University graduate Ben James; and teenage standouts Blades Brown and sponsor invite Miles Russell are all in the field.

Veteran PGA Tour winners Brian Harman and Max Homa headline a group that also includes Joel Dahmen, Billy Horschel, Matt Kuchar and Lucas Glover, all of whom remain in the hunt to secure exempt status for next season by finishing inside the top 100 of the FedEx Cup Fall standings.

The tournament features a $6 million purse.
