he PGA Tour has finalised its full schedule for 2009 with a slight overall increase in overall prize money.
The itinerary for the regular season was announced in November and the dates for the Fall Series - which will determine the top 125 on the money list and playing priorities for 2010 - have now been confirmed.
Tour commissioner Tim Finchem is delighted with a calendar drawn up in a deteriorating economic climate.
"Once again, we believe we have a very strong line-up of fall tournaments for our fans, sponsors and players," Finchem said in a statement.
"We are working on a couple of options for the week of November 2-8 and will announce that week as soon as it is finalised."
The Fall Series will start in early October with the US$6 million Turning Stone Resort Championship in Verona, New York, one week after the culmination of the FedExCup play-offs.
The Disney Classic in Lake Buena Vista, Florida from November 12-15 brings the season to a close.
A total of 47 events feature on the full schedule - a reduction of just one from 2008 - with the winners-only Mercedes-Benz Championship launching the season in Kapalua, Hawaii from January 8-11.
