2008 PGA Results/Schedule

There are 49 events in 45 weeks, including one team event with no prize money, so there are 48 events with prize money. Most members of the tour play between 20 and 30 tournaments in the season. The geography of the tour is determined by the weather. It starts in Hawaii in January and spends most of its first two months in California and Arizona during what is known as the "West Coast Swing," and then moves to the American Southeast for the "Southern Swing." Each swing culminates in a significant tour event. In April, tour events begin to drift north. The summer months are spent mainly in the Northeast and the Midwest, and in the fall the tour heads south again.

In most of the regular events on tour, the field is either 132, 144 or 156 players, depending on time zones. After two rounds, there is a cut where the top 70 players and ties will advance to the next rounds and earn money. The winner usually receives 18% of the total purse.
