It was also the 43rd season since separating from the PGA of America, and the fifth edition of the FedEx Cup. Changes for 2011 The schedule was announced on December 2, 2010 and had four phases:http://www.pgatour.com/2010/r/12/02/2011-schedule-analysis/index.html 2011 schedule includes key change during the Playoffs PGA Tour December 2, 2010 December 2, 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20101204181624/http://www.pgatour.com/2010/r/12/02/2011-schedule-analysis/index.html 4 December 2010 Regular season: Consisted of 37 events (one less than in 2010) and started on January 6 with the limited-field Hyundai Tournament of Champions and ended with the Wyndham Championship on August 21. FedEx Cup Playoffs: As in previous seasons, this was a series of four tournaments. It started with The Barclays on August 25 and ended with the Tour Championship on September 25. Fall Series: After the Tour Championship, the principal portion of the season ended with a series of four tournaments (down from five in the previous season). These tournaments, generally passed on by elite players, offer an additional opportunity for players to secure their tour cards for the following season by finishing in the top 125 on the money list, or to gain a two-year exemption by winning a tournament with a slightly weaker field than usual. After the main season, the tour went into an Asia-Pacific swing consisting of four events, none of which offered official prize money. The CIMB Asia Pacific Classic Malaysia, a limited-field event held in Malaysia that debuted in 2010. The WGC-HSBC Champions, a World Golf Championships event held in China. Founded in 2005, it was elevated to WGC status in 2009, when it also became an event on the PGA Tour schedule. Although the prize money is unofficial, it now counts as an official PGA Tour win, if it is won by a PGA Tour member. The 2011 Presidents Cup, a biennial team competition involving a United States side and an "International" side drawn from non-European players (European players play against the USA in the Ryder Cup). This was held in Melbourne, Australia. The Omega Mission Hills World Cup, a team event featuring two-man teams from countries around the world and also held in China. This was the first World Cup of the event's new biennial schedule; it had been an annual event through 2009. The regular season included all four major championships and three of the World Golf Championships events. All four majors and all four WGC events were also sanctioned by the European Tour. In late 2009, after the 2010 schedule had been announced, it was noted by golf media that most of the Tour's contracts for sponsorship of individual tournaments were locked in through that season. However, it was speculated that the expiration of those sponsorship contracts in 2011 would see substantial changes in the PGA Tour landscape.https://www.espn.com/golf/news/story?page=altshot/091103 With 2010 status quo, 2011 up in the air Sobel Jason Harig Bob ESPN November 3, 2009 December 4, 2010 As it turned out, the 2011 schedule was largely the same as in 2010. The number of official money events was reduced by one with the demise of the Turning Stone Resort Championship, but the tour's total prize money remained virtually the same.https://www.espn.com/golf/news/story?id=5876228 PGA Tour releases '11 schedule Associated Press ESPN December 2, 2010 December 4, 2010 Schedule The following table lists official events during the 2011 season.https://www.pgatour.com/tournaments/schedule.history.2011.html 2011 Tournament schedule PGA Tour 27 October 2023 https://web.archive.org/web/20180907101021/https://www.pgatour.com/tournaments/schedule.history.2011.html 7 September 2018http://www.pgatour.com/2010/r/12/02/2011_schedule/index.html 2011 PGA Tour schedule PGA Tour December 2, 2010 December 2, 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20101204181217/http://www.pgatour.com/2010/r/12/02/2011_schedule/index.html 4 December 2010 DateTournamentLocationPurse(US$)WinnerThe number in parentheses after each winner's name is the number of PGA Tour events they had won up to and including that tournament.
