The first event of the PGA Tour's 2024 FedEx Fall is the newly renamed Procore Championship in Napa Valley, where both sides of the upcoming Presidents Cup will be heavily represented.

There will be 11 members of the two teams in all at the Silverado Resort, Sept. 12–15, including both team captains.

U.S. captain Jim Furyk will be on site and while he's not playing, there will be plenty of strategizing between him and three of the guys on his roster: defending tournament champ Sahith Theegala, two-time event winner Max Homa and Wyndham Clark. In addition, two of Furyk's assistant captains, Kevin Kisner and Stewart Cink, will be playing in the event.

Cink, who recently won his first PGA Tour Champions event, won in Napa in 2000 when it was called the Safeway Championship. It was later called the Fortinet Championship until this season. This year marks the 11th straight season Silverado has hosted a PGA Tour stop.

On the International side, captain Mike Weir, one of only six International Team members with 10 or more wins in the Presidents Cup, will be playing as will one of his assistant captains, Camilo Villegas. Players on the International roster teeing it up in Napa are Min Woo Lee, Corey Conners and Mackenzie Hughes.

Other tournament commitments include Webb Simpson as well as Joel Dahmen and three rising stars in the game: Luke Clanton, the top-ranked amateur in the WAGR who posted three top-10 finishes on the PGA Tour in 2024; Neal Shipley, the low amateur at the Masters and the U.S. Open; and Wenyi Ding, formerly of Arizona State and the Pac-12's Player of the Year last season. All three are playing as sponsor exemptions.

The Procore Championship is the first of eight Fall Series events on the PGA Tour. It's the last event before the Presidents Cup, to be held in Montreal, Canada, Sept. 24–29, at The Royal Montreal Golf Club.
