The PGA Tour’s return to Utah will be the 2024 Black Desert Championship, Oct. 10-13. It’s the third event in the FedEx Fall Series.
The field of 132 was announced Friday. Tournament headliners include Daniel Berger, Kevin Kisner, Keith Mitchell, Brandt Snedeker, Mike Weir and Jay Don Blake, 65, who learned in May he was being granted a sponsor exemption into the event.
Kisner and Snedeker (U.S. assistant captains) and Weir (International captain) were recently in Montreal at the Presidents Cup.
Blake will be making his 500th PGA Tour start at the Tom Weiskopf-designed Black Desert Resort, which opened in June of 2023. The course, located in Ivins just outside of St. George, has already taken over the top spot on the Golfweek’s Best best public-access and private golf courses in Utah list.
Notably not in the field: Tony Finau, who was born and grew up in Salt Lake City.
The tournament features a $7.5 million purse with a $1.35 million first-place prize.
The third of eight tournaments in the 2024 FedExCup Fall continues next week at the Black Desert Championship (October 10-13).
