The biggest change comes immediately.

The Mitsubishi Electric Championship at Hualalai follows Jan. 21-23, creating consecutive tournament weeks in Hawaii.

"Hawaii has long been synonymous with PGA Tour golf," PGA Tour Champions President Miller Brady said in announcing the schedule.

Another major development comes in March, when the Hoag Senior Players Championship makes its debut as a senior major at Newport Beach Country Club in California.

The March 25-28 tournament joins four other major championships on the calendar.

The Senior PGA Championship returns to The Concession Golf Club in Bradenton, Florida, April 15-18, while the Regions Tradition heads back to Greystone Golf & Country Club in Birmingham, Alabama, May 13-16.

The U.S. Senior Open will be played July 1-4 at Oak Tree National in Edmond, Oklahoma, which previously hosted the 1988 PGA Championship and 2014 U.S. Senior Open won by Colin Montgomerie.

Royal Porthcawl Golf Club in Wales hosts the ISPS HANDA Senior Open July 22-25.

International competition continues the following week with the Portugal Invitational, hosted by World Golf Hall of Famer Ernie Els at The Els Club Vilamoura.

Other notable stops include the Chubb Classic's 40th anniversary in Naples, Florida, the American Family Insurance Championship's return to University Ridge Golf Course and the PURE Insurance Championship at Pebble Beach.

The regular season concludes Oct. 15-17 at the SAS Championship in North Carolina.

The Charles Schwab Cup Playoffs begin Oct. 22-24 in St. Louis before moving to Little Rock, Arkansas, October 29-31.

But the biggest postseason change comes in Phoenix.

After years at Phoenix Country Club, the Charles Schwab Cup Championship moves to Papago Golf Club for its Nov. 12-14 finale.

Golf Channel will provide national coverage throughout the season, with NBC broadcasting weekend action from the U.S. Senior Open and Senior Open Championship.
