The PGA Tour this week features the 2026 Austin Championship starting on Thursday at Omni Barton Creek Resort in Austin, Texas.

The Austin Championship marks the PGA Tour heading to the Texas capital for the penultimate event of the FedEx Cup Fall.

The 2026 Austin Championship field takes on a new challenge for them, but it's a Tom Fazio resort-style course that should follow all of his usual hallmarks and looks.

Just a reminder that I make my expert picks looking at all fantasy leagues and formats. Whether you're playing in a fantasy golf leagues, betting on golf, or competing in a DFS (DraftKings, FanDuel) event, our picks highlight the top PGA Tour golfers to watch this week from our 2026 Austin Championship rankings.

2026 Austin Championship expert picks and rankings

1. Austin Smotherman: Smotherman has won in his last two starts, both under playoff pressure, so he's sailing free this week.

2. Blades Brown: Brown is now a PGA Tour winner, and there's no doubt his head will still be swimming a bit, but he has a great head on his shoulders.

3. Jackson Koivun: Koivun was T-21 last week in Mexico, which is a pretty decent week. This place should suit his eye well.

4. Ben James: James has to be bummed not to finish off the big lead in Mexico last week, but he is a quick learner.

5. Doug Ghim: Ghim is listed as the favorite at some books this week, which seems a bit much, but he has been playing very well.

6. Andrew Novak: Novak seems to have a thing for Texas golf, and he's probably freed up by already winning this fall.

7. Michael Kim: Kim finished a shot out of the playoff in Mexico last week, and he's been in the top 17 in his las three starts.

8. Brian Harman: Harman played once this fall, finishing T-4 at the Baycurrent Classic. He's playing this week for a reason, most likely.

9. Sudarshan Yellamaraju: The Canadian might be building to something, improving his finish in three-consecutive starts, including a T-12 last week.

10. Pierceson Coody: Coody went to UT Austin, and he's trying to wrap up a strong year in his home state.

The DP World Tour this week features the 2026 DP World Tour Championship Dubai starting on Thursday at Jumeirah Golf Estates' Earth Course in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

The DP World Tour Championship Dubai marks the return of the DP World Tour to the UAE for the final event on the schedule and the second of two playoff events.

The 2026 DP World Tour Championship Dubai field takes on a course where scoring is certainly possible, and there's an emphasis on driving (because that was Greg Norman's best skill, and he's the architect).

Just a reminder that I make my expert picks looking at all fantasy leagues and formats. Whether you're playing in a fantasy golf leagues, betting on golf, or competing in a DFS (DraftKings, FanDuel) event, our picks highlight the top DP World Tour golfers to watch this week from our 2026 DP World Tour Championship Dubai rankings.

2026 DP World Tour Championship Dubai expert picks and rankings

1. Rory McIlroy: McIlroy has a presence in Dubai, and he has dominated this tournament over the years.

2. Jon Rahm: Rahm won in his debut in Abu Dhabi in convincing fashion, and he's back at a place where he has thrived.

3. Tyrrell Hatton: Hatton has a great record in the UAE, and there's no reason for that to not continue this week.

4. Eugenio Chacarra: Chacarra might be down on himself a bit after realizing last week that he's not quite on the level of McIlroy.

5. Tommy Fleetwood: Fleetwood isn't necessarily playing better than every player in the field but one, but he's still a fabulous player.

6. Ryan Fox: Fox didn't play last week, but he did well in his last start at the Genesis Championship in South Korea.

7. Aaron Rai: Rai is trying to get to the end of the year in style, but he might be out of gas.

8. Kristoffer Reitan: Reitan should be a compelling play this week, and I think his length off the tee should be huge for him.

9. Adam Scott: Scott has committed to completing the DP World Tour playoffs, and he still has the game to compete at this level.

10. Patrick Reed: Reed may not be quite the same as he was earlier in the year, but he'll be motivated this week against a great field in a country where he already won in 2026.

The 2026 Austin Championship continues the PGA Tour season with the event at Omni Barton Creek Resort in Austin, Texas, welcoming 120 world-class players to the PGA Tour event.

The 2026 Austin Championship betting odds indicate this week's favorite is Doug Ghim, who comes in at +1300 betting odds.

Jackson Koivun is 15-to-1 as he looks to add to his win in the 3M Open earlier this year.

Blades Brown is 18-to-1, seeking an opportunity to go back-to-back after a breakthrough win last week.

2026 Austin Championship betting picks

The Austin Championship is the seventh event of the FedEx Cup Fall, with this being the first year for the tournament.

Barton Creek should be pretty easy for these guys, playing like a classic Fazio design that should yield plenty of birdies for players that can keep the ball in play.

Austin Smotherman has to get some love here, just because of his number. He's won his last two starts, and that doesn't get him much market respect.

Sudarshan Yellamaraju should thrive in a set up like this one, playing steady golf and not being too worried about overpowering the place.

Adrien Dumont De Chassart might be a worthy longshot, having showed up pretty well the last four times out and needing a big move these last two weeks.

Tommy Fleetwood is 10-to-1, third on the odds board this week.

2026 DP World Tour Championship Dubai betting picks

The DP World Tour Championship Dubai ends the DP World Tour season in spectacular fashion on a familiar host that is loved by the top players, including McIlroy and Rahm.

Rahm feels like a good value all of a sudden at 6-to-1, having played well here in the past and just winning on debut in Abu Dhabi.

Patrick Reed has played well in the past here at times, but I'd look to Ryan Fox for a more interesting sweat this week.

Adrian Meronk has a decent history in Dubai, and he might be the one to bust up the monopoly of top players taking this title.

The 2026 The Annika continues the 2026 LPGA Tour schedule with the event at Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Florida, welcoming 108 world-class players to the LPGA event.

The 2026 The Annika betting odds indicate this week's LPGA Tour betting favorite is Nelly Korda, who comes in at 5-to-1 (+500) betting odds.

Haeran Ryu is next best on the odds board at 7-to-1 to start the week, and she looks to win again after withdrawing in her last start.

Charley Hull is sitting on 14-to-1, looking to win for another win late in the season.

2026 The Annika betting picks

This week, the LPGA has the The Annika in Florida, kicking off back-to-back events in the Sunshine State to end the LPGA season. Nelly Korda has owned this tournament, and there's no reason to believe she won't be in contention here again.

It's probably worth ignoring players who competed in the Toto Japan Classic last week, as they should be exhausted.

Charley Hull has a good record here, and she's worth at least a look, though her price is poor relative to how often she wins.

Lauren Coughlin has played well here in the past two years, and she's at a great value considering she's a strong closer.

Karis Davidson is my longer-shot play this week, having been in the top 15 in her last two starts and sporting a good course record here.

At 19 years, 5 months and 18 days, Blades Brown became a first-time PGA Tour winner on Sunday at the 2026 World Wide Technology Championship in Mexico.

With a birdie 4 on the second playoff hole against Ben James, Brown completed the comeback from seven shots down entering the round and surpassed Jordan Spieth as the fourth-youngest recognized official winner in PGA Tour history.

Spieth was 19 years, 11 months, 18 days old when he won the 2013 John Deere Classic to become the modern youngest winner in PGA Tour history. Brown now holds that record. The three recognized PGA Tour winners younger than now Brown and Spieth all won their events 95 or more years ago.

Brown shot 63 on the final day, forcing James to make a remarkable eagle 3 on the final hole of regulation to force extra holes. On the second playoff hole, again on the par-5 18th, Brown got up-and-down for a birdie 4 to seal the victory after James missed an 8-foot birdie bid.

"It hasn't set in just yet, I guess, the magnitude of being a PGA Tour winner," Brown said after the win.

"Golf is one of the best games, is one of the greatest games in the world. It challenges you mentally, physically, spiritually. It challenges you in every aspect of us, right? I mean, it still hasn't sunk in yet."

Brown looks back on the kid that fell in love with golf -- not all that long ago in the grand scheme of things -- and can't believe he's come this far.

"I just go back to, you know, 5-year-old Blades that was watching the TV and watching Tiger Woods and all those great players win major championships, and to think that I'm now in a similar spot with having won a PGA Tour event is mind blowing."

The Tennessee native has repeatedly thanked his parents, who made sacrifices for him to reach this point. Brown was grateful to have his dad on hand for the whole thing.

"I'm so thankful to be in this position. It's remarkable. It still hasn't set in yet that I'm officially a PGA Tour winner, but I'm sure it will tonight," he said. "And it was so special seeing my dad here and giving him a big bear hug after we finished the tournament."

In modern professional golf, winners are getting younger and younger as upstart golfers turn professional with increasing amounts of tournament experience, including winning huge titles before they graduate college -- if they even get there.

However, it's still incredibly rare for a professional golfer to win on a major tour in their teens. That's why the list of the youngest winners in PGA Tour history has a considerable gap between the most recent teenage winner and the one before him.

In 2015, Jordan Spieth became the youngest winner in modern PGA Tour history, taking the 2015 John Deere Classic at the ripe, old age of 19 years, 11 months, 18 days. Winning at TPC Deere Run, Spieth earned full PGA Tour status and started a career toward becoming a multi-time major winner.

However, Blades Brown took over that mantle in November 2026, winning the World Wide Technology Championship in a playoff to become the youngest modern winner at 19 years, 5 months, 18 days -- exactly six months younger than Spieth when he broke through.

When Spieth won the John Deere Classic, he became the first teenage winner of a PGA Tour-recognized event in 82 years. Before Spieth had won in Silvis, Ill., the last teenager to win on the PGA Tour was Ralph Guldahl in the 1931 Santa Monica Open. Since the PGA Tour as we know it was formed in the 1960s, this win was retroactively credited to Guldahl as a PGA Tour win.

The youngest winner in PGA Tour history is also the recipient of a retroactive win. Charles Kocsis was 18 years, 6 months and 9 days old when he won the 1931 Michigan Open.

The tour changed the mark in recent memory. Previously the mark belonged to Harry Cooper, who won the 1923 Galveston Open in Texas at the age of 19 years, 4 days. It's a record that's likely to stand for decades to come, too, as more professional golfers cut their teeth in the collegiate ranks and pursue several years of college before turning pro.

Becoming the youngest winner in PGA Tour history isn't something most golfers now pursue. They're looking to be fully prepared to be a professional when they become part of the paid set. Further, the PGA Tour has mandated the best path to the PGA Tour is playing a full season on the Korn Ferry Tour. That will mean it's increasingly unlikely a young pro will even be in a position to try to win in their teens on the PGA Tour.

If Blades Brown wins the 2026 The American Express, he break through at the age of 18 years, 8 months, 4 days.

Youngest winners in PGA Tour history

1. 18 years, 6 months, 9 days -- Charles Kocsis, 1931 Michigan Open
2. 19 years, 4 days -- Harry Cooper, 1923 Galveston Open
3. 19 years, 8 months, 3 days -- Ralph Guldahl, 1931 Santa Monica Open
4. 19 years, 10 months, 14 days -- Johnny McDermott, 1911 U.S. Open
5. 19 years, 5 months, 18 days -- Blades Brown, 2026 World Wide Technology Championship
6. 19 years, 11 months, 18 days -- Jordan Spieth, 2015 John Deere Classic

For the first time since 2018, Carnoustie Golf Links in Scotland will host the Open Championship again in 2029.

The R&A announced the club will host for the ninth time in the 157th edition of the event, following on from already announced future Open Championship venues: the Old Course hosting in 2027 at St. Andrews, followed by Royal Lytham and St. Annes in 2028, which will be moved to August to accommodate the Olympics in Los Angeles.

"Carnoustie is a world-class championship venue where some of golf’s greatest players have lifted the Claret Jug and the return of The Open to these famous links after more than a decade will give fans the opportunity to be part of another memorable chapter in the Championship’s history," said Mark Darbon, chief executive of the R&A.

“The Open has been part of Carnoustie’s story for almost a century, and the opportunity to welcome the world’s best players back to Angus is hugely exciting," said Ross Blackadder, Chief Operating Officer at Carnoustie Golf Links. "We are already focused on delivering an outstanding Championship experience for competitors, spectators and the wider golfing community."

Francesco Molinari won the claret jug in 2018, holding off a comeback-minded Tiger Woods and a handful of other challengers to win by two shots. Other Open champions at Carnoustie include Tommy Armour, Sir Henry Cotton, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Tom Watson, Paul Lawrie and Pádraig Harrington.

In 2016, Ryan Fox won the claret jug and became Champion Golfer of the Year with a 72nd-hole birdie at Royal Birkdale in England.

The 157th Open will be played July 19-22, 2029.

The future British Open Championship sites are downright predictable. Known as the Rota, the rotation of British Open Championship venues rarely changes. The Old Course at St. Andrews has a regular slot to host the Open Championship every five years, like Pebble Beach is to the U.S. Open and Whistling Straits has become for the PGA Championship.

RELATED: Future PGA Championship sites through 2040 | Future US Open sites through 2050 | Future U.S. Women's Open sites through 2045

The future British Open venues have been announced or leaked through 2029, as the R&A has a fairly tight rotation of venues, so there isn't much need to announce long in advance.

Future British Open Championship venues and dates announced

• 2027 (July 15-18) -- The Old Course at St. Andrews, Fife, Scotland
• 2028 (August 3-6) -- Royal Lytham & St. Annes, Lytham & St. Annes, England
• 2029 (July 19-22) -- Carnoutie Golf Links, Carnoustie, Scotland

There's still much to be decided about the order of the Open Rota for years to come.

Potential future British Open Championship sites

2029 -- Muirfield: The Scottish links, and the shortest course in the modern Open Rota, gets the Open about once a decade nowadays. Phil Mickelson, who won there in 2013, will be 52 years old when the Open returns. It could be a good send-off for the lefty.

2030 -- Turnberry: Site to Tom Watson's 2009 close call at the age of 59, Turnberry is going to see the Open eventually, depending on when Donald Trump sells it.

Recent past British Open Championship venues

• 2014 -- Royal Liverpool Golf Club
• 2015 -- The Old Course at St. Andrews
• 2016 -- Royal Troon Golf Club
• 2017 -- Royal Birkdale Golf Club
• 2018 -- Carnoustie
• 2019 -- Royal Portrush Golf Club
• 2020 -- CANCELLED
• 2021 -- Royal St. George's
• 2022 -- The Old Course at St. Andrews
• 2023 -- Royal Liverpool
• 2024 -- Royal Troon
• 2025 -- Royal Portrush
• 2026 -- Royal Birkdale
