Scottish Open added

The PGA Tour released next season’s schedule Tuesday that gives a glimpse of its strategic partnership with the European Tour, with players from both tours eligible for tournaments on each side of the Atlantic Ocean. The Scottish Open, a week before the British Open, will have a field split between European Tour and PGA Tour members with points applying to both tours. Fifty members from the European Tour will have access to the Barbasol Championship in Kentucky and the Barracuda Championship in California. Those tournaments are held the same weeks as the Scottish Open and British Open. The FedEx St. Jude Championship at TPC Southwind in Memphis is now the opening postseason event. As for the PGA Tour schedule, it starts in Napa, Calif., with the Fortinet Championship on Sept. 16-19. That’s two weeks after the Tour Championship, and a week before the Ryder Cup.
