Asheville, get ready for a thrilling golf comeback! The PGA Tour is making its way back to the picturesque mountains of Western North Carolina, and the wait has been a long one. But here's the big news:
The Biltmore Championship, set in the stunning Asheville, will be a highlight of the 2026 FedExCup Fall season. Mark your calendars for September 17-20, 2026, when the world's top golfers will tee off at The Cliffs at Walnut Cove.
It's been over 80 years since the PGA Tour graced Asheville, and the return is generating excitement. Tyler Dennis, PGA TOUR chief competitions officer, expressed enthusiasm: "The Biltmore Championship brings the PGA TOUR back to the breathtaking Blue Ridge Mountains, a region renowned for its natural splendor."
This event is a collaboration between the PGA Tour, Biltmore Estate, and Explore Asheville, aiming to showcase the area's charm and community spirit. Mark Hemphill, Biltmore's chief marketing officer, emphasized the positive impact on the local economy and community.
The Cliffs at Walnut Cove, a prestigious private course in Arden, will host the tournament. Its 7,167-yard layout, nestled between the Pisgah National Forest and the Blue Ridge Parkway, promises a challenging and scenic experience for players and spectators alike.
And this is where it gets intriguing: The last PGA Tour event in Asheville was the Asheville Land of the Sky Open, a historic tournament that left its mark on the region. Will the Biltmore Championship become a new tradition, or is it a one-off event? Share your thoughts on this exciting development in the world of golf!
