The PGA Tour is returning to Northern California after a one-year absence.<\/p>\n

Tour officials announced Tuesday plans to return to Napa County next summer with a pro golf tournament at Silverado Resort.<\/p>\n

The resort hosted PGA Tour events from 1968 through 1980, and again from 2014 through last year, but was taken off the lineup for 2026 following the Procore Championship. The four-day event had previously been known as the Frys.com Open, the Safeway Open and the Fortinet Championship.<\/p>\n

The Japanese insurance company Sompo will be the sponsor of the event taking place in 2027 from July 26 to Aug. 1 at the North Course at the resort located just outside of Napa.<\/p>\n

PGA Tour officials in their announcement said Sompo will also sponsor a tournament as part of the tour\u2019s new Championship Series in 2028 at another location that will be announced at a later date, but did not specify if Silverado will host any tournament beyond 2027.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust a few weeks after we announced our new competitive model, we are delighted to welcome Sompo as the first new sponsor supporting the PGA Tour Championship Series that will launch in 2028,\u201d the tour\u2019s chief commercial officer Dhruv Prasad said in a statement. \u201cWe look forward to debuting this partnership in Napa in 2027 and are excited to announce its future home in a new market for the PGA Tour in the coming months.\u201d<\/p>\n

The tournaments in Napa were usually marked by golfers lower down the PGA Tour rankings competing to ensure they had full status on the tour for the next year. But the 2025 Procore Championship had the best field in the event\u2019s history since some of the top American golfers were preparing to play in the Ryder Cup international competition against Europe.<\/p>\n

Scottie Scheffler, the top-ranked golfer in the world, won the 2025 tournament with a one-shot victory over Ben Griffin.<\/p>\n

PGA Tour officials said the new Championship Series starting in 2028 will involve about 24 events in a season spanning February through August and will be paired with a Challenger Series with golfers able to get promoted to or relegated from the upper league.<\/p>\n
