Boeing Classic back on the schedule for 2021

PGA Tour Champions announced the 2021 tournament schedule, featuring 25 events and culminating with the Charles Schwab Cup Playoffs in November. The Tour will contest tournaments in Canada, England and 19 states, with prize money totaling more than $55 million.

The 2021 Boeing Classic is on the schedule for Aug. 20-22 at the Snoqualmie Ridge Golf Club, just east of Seattle. The event was cancelled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But tournament officials are excited to be back for 2021 and will be offering a star-studded field.

The 2021 rookie class will be highlighted by three-time major champion Padraig Harrington (turns 50 on August 31), nine-time PGA Tour winner Stuart Appleby (May 1), and four-time PGA Tour winner Robert Allenby (July 12). They will follow a rookie class that tallied eight victories in 2020, including two each by Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els and Jim Furyk.

The Mitsubishi Electric Championship at Hualalai (January 17-23) kicks off a schedule that will feature two new tournaments. The Ascension Charity Classic was supposed to make its debut in 2020 but was canceled due to the pandemic, and its long-awaited inaugural event will take place September 6-12 at Norwood Hills Country Club in St. Louis.
