The run-up to 16th FedEx Cup title will conclude at the PGA Tour Championship from Aug. 25-Aug. 28, 2022, at East Lake Country Club, the Tour announced Tuesday when it unveiled its 2022 schedule.

“We feel strongly the final week of August is a more beneficial position on the calendar for our fans, partners, volunteers and all those associated with the Tour Championship,” executive director Allison Fillmore said in a statement.

The 2021 championship at East Lake was the weekend of Labor Day (Sept. 2-5, 2021). The coronavirus pandemic forced a change in scheduling the past two seasons.

The playoffs events leading up to the 2022 finale will be:

  • Aug. 11-14: FedEx St. Jude Championship, Memphis, Tenn.
  • Aug. 18-21: BMW Championship, Wilmington, Del.

All events will be broadcast on NBC as part of a new annual rotation with CBS.
