How Many PGA Tour Events Are Lined Up For January 2022?

The 2021 PGA Tour season was another triumphant one, with loads of memories going down in history books. From Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth’s resurgence to Collin Morikawa dominating the year-end and bagging the DP World Tour Finals, we saw it all. As another year will soon be past us, we can’t help but look forward to what the new year will bring with it.

After over a one-month hiatus, with the last event being played at the RSM Classic, the tour will finally come together again in January 2022. And after all these weeks of competitive inactivity, the tour will return with not three, but four events! Let’s take a look at next month’s schedule.

PGA Tour to kick off with the Tournament of Champions in 2022

2022 will begin with the Sentry Tournament of Champions from January 6th to 9th. The scenic Kapalua Plantation Course in Hawaii will be host to the event and a massive purse of $8,000,000 will be up for grabs.

The qualifiers include defending champion Harris English, Xander Schauffele, Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth, and many other top-ranked players. However, most of the players have until the end of this week to commit to the event.

Five former champions. 𝘼𝙡𝙡 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙙. @JustinThomas34, @JordanSpieth, @Harris_English, @XSchauffele and @PReedGolf are locked in.

Next in line will be the Sony Open, from January 13th to 16th. Continuing on the beautiful island of Hawaii, the Waiʻalae Country Club will host the $6,600,000 event. 38-year-old Korean American Kevin Na won the 2021 edition and will surely be looking for a repeat of last year’s performance.

The ‘west coast’ swing of the tour

The next swing of the tour will move to the West Coast, with the American Express being played in La Quinta, California. Popularly known as the Desert Classic, it will be played from January 20th to 23rd in the PGA West Stadium Course. It will offer a purse of $7,600,000.
Finally, the month will conclude with the Farmer’s Insurance Open in the city of San Diego, California. From January 27th to 30th, the Torrey Pines South Course will hopefully again boast of a star-studded field competing for a purse of $7,500,000.
Which event are you looking forward to the most?
