    Ep. 234: Courses the PGA Tour Should Play in Major Markets

    PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp’s State of the Tour press conference during the recent Players Championship didn’t provide all the answers about where the PGA Tour schedule was headed, but he did offer hints. One of the bullet points revealed was that the Tour would like to see an annual event each of the top 10 media markets, six of which are not being currently served. They are: New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, D.C., San Francisco, and Boston.

    Each of these major cities has played host to major championships as well as PGA Tour events. If we’re on track to return to these markets—perhaps in 2027 or maybe more likely in 2028—here are the courses the hosts of the LINKS Golf Podcast would most like to see as hosts for these events.
