Professional golf will remain in the Richmond area with the Korn Ferry Tour Championship moving to The Federal Club for the 2026 season finale, Oct. 5-11. The event will feature the PGA TOUR Card Ceremony, where the top 20 players on the Korn Ferry Tour Points List earn PGA TOUR status for the following season. 

The announcement came Monday during a news conference after the final Dominion Energy Charity Classic, a PGA TOUR Champions event that concluded Oct. 19 at The Country Club of Virginia’s James River Course. The Charity Classic, held in Richmond since 2016, raised more than $14 million for local charities. 

“Korn Ferry Tour Championship presented by Virginia’s Richmond Region will be moving here, beginning next year,” said Korn Ferry Tour President Alex Baldwin. “This community has been an incredible host to a PGA TOUR Champions event for a decade, and we’re looking forward to building on the foundation they’ve established.” 

The Federal Club, designed by Arnold Palmer, is a par-72 layout stretching more than 7,000 yards with bentgrass greens and fairways and bluegrass/fescue roughs. Henrico County officials and Richmond Region Tourism worked with the Virginia Tourism Corporation to secure the event and strengthen sports tourism in the area. 

“The Federal Club will provide an exceptional stage in 2026,” said Henrico Board of Supervisors Chair Daniel J. Schmitt. “Hosting the season-ending Korn Ferry Tour Championship highlights our region’s ability to deliver world-class sporting events that drive tourism and economic growth.” 

Steve Schoenfeld, executive director of the Dominion Energy Charity Classic, will lead operations for the new tournament. 

“The support the community has demonstrated over the past 10 years has been nothing short of spectacular,” he said. 

All four rounds of the tournament and the PGA TOUR Card Ceremony will air live on the Golf Channel.
