PGA Tournament Series Returns to PGA Golf Club

Dylan Newman of New Rochelle, N.Y., who has won the money title in two of the last three PGA Tournament Series – he was fourth last year – headlines the six-event series held at PGA Golf Club through the end of the year.

Newman led the money lists in 2019 ($16,070) and 2020 ($13,050) before finishing fourth last year ($7,764) to Jake Scott of Strongsville, Ohio ($20,007). Scott, who also had last year’s low scoring average by almost 1 ½ strokes (67.58) will not be competing in the PGA Tournament Series this fall.
