What Is the PGA Tour Biltmore Championship?

The Biltmore Championship is a newly announced PGA Tour event and part of the FedExCup Fall Series. It marks the first PGA Tour tournament in the Asheville area in more than 80 years, making it a landmark moment for golf in Western North Carolina.

The tournament will be played at The Cliffs at Walnut Cove, a private, Jack Nicklaus–designed golf course known for its dramatic elevation changes, pristine greens, and sweeping mountain views. While Walnut Cove is typically closed to the public, ticketed spectators will have the chance to experience this exclusive course during championship week.
