The 2022–23 PGA Tour is the 108th season of the PGA Tour, and the 56th since separating from the PGA of America. The season began on September 15, 2022. The 2023 FedEx Cup Playoffs will begin on August 10, and conclude on August 27, 2023.[1]
It is intended that the 2022–23 season will be the final season with the current wraparound format (that started in 2013–14). The tour plans to return to a traditional calendar-year format starting in 2024.
