PGA Tour announces expanded schedule for 2019-2020 season

As part of several changes to the upcoming PGA Tour schedule, the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational will not be played immediately after The Open.
The new season will feature a full calendar of 49 tournaments, with only four empty weeks from September 2019 through to August 2020.
Notable highlights of the 2019-20 PGA Tour schedule:

The St. Jude event has been moved back to the first weekend in July, two weeks after the US Open and two weeks before The Open.
The 3M Open is now the event that takes place immediately after The Open, while the Rocket Mortgage Classic switches from the last week in June to the last week in May.
PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan said: “We are thrilled to expand the number of events to 49 while maintaining a great flow from start to finish, allowing our fans to better engage and follow the PGA Tour throughout the season.”
