Inaugural Biltmore Championship Brings PGA Tour Back to Asheville After 80 Years

The 2026 Biltmore Championship gets underway this week at The Cliffs at Walnut Cove, marking the PGA Tour’s return to Asheville, North Carolina, for the first time in eight decades. The tournament launches the FedEx Cup Fall series, where competitors will vie for 2027 Tour cards.

The field is headlined by two breakout stars from the 2026 season. Jacob Bridgeman, 26, captured his maiden Tour victory at the Genesis Invitational in February, while 21-year-old Jackson Koivun turned professional this summer and won the 3M Open in just his third start. Six winners from the 2026 campaign highlight the field, joined by major champions Lucas Glover and Webb Simpson.
