North Carolina already has the Truist Championship in Charlotte (May) and the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro (August).
The PGA Tour was last held in Asheville in 1942, for four years of a tournament called the Land of the Sky Open. Ben Hogan won his first individual Tour title in 1940, the start of winning three in a row in Asheville.
It was held a week before the Masters from 1940 to 1942. It will now be the third week of September at a time when most players are simply trying to hold on to their PGA Tour cards.
The LPGA Tour played in Ashville from 1957 to 1960.
The announcement of the four-year deal with Asheville adds to a growing schedule for the fall of 2026. The Good Good Championship in Austin, Texas, will take place Nov. 12-15. Other Fall Series events for 2026 include stops in Utah, Japan, Mexico, Bermuda and the southeast coast of Georgia.
