The 2011 PGA Tour Schedule is out. Things look pretty good for the Tour next year: 41 events, two new sponsors, one returning sponsor and as of this writing, only two sponsorless events. The new sponsors are Hyundai and Nationwide; Cadillac returns and; the Hope and Heritage are without a naming sugar daddy.
Interestingly, the season both begins and ends on the Pacific Rim.

You need to fix the table, the ‘Location’ and ‘Purse’ headings are incorrect, and you forgot to include the ‘Course’ heading.
Thanks, I fixed it.
Returning sponsors is actually +1 more. FedEx is returning as a full sponsor for the St. Jude – FedEx was a presenting sponsor in 2009, and in 2010, the presenting sponsor was Smith & Nephew.
This is a one year deal, and also the initial FedEx Cup deal expires this year too.
I wonder how much pressure Finchem feels to get some top names in Memphis this year.
