What Happened to the 2026 Good Good Championship?

31 minutes ago
The Good Good Championship is now the Austin Championship, and it’s the same tournament. Good Good walked away as title sponsor on August 27, 2026, after a driver ad it made with Callaway blew up on it. The dates, the course, and the 6-million-dollar purse didn’t move, so if a new name shows up on your TV Thursday, you’ve got the right event.
The official name now is the Austin Championship presented by Compliance Solutions. It runs November 12 to 15 on the Fazio Canyons Course at Omni Barton Creek Resort and Spa in Austin, Texas. The golf survived. The hook that made this event interesting to people who skip the fall swing did not.
Why is it called the Austin Championship now?
It’s called the Austin Championship because the Good Good name left with the sponsor. The PGA Tour switched the event’s listing on its own website after Good Good stepped away in late August, then named Compliance Solutions the presenting sponsor on November 2. With no title sponsor, the city became the name.
Good Good said on social media that it had decided to “step away as sponsor of the tour event in Austin this fall,” per Golf.com. The Tour confirmed it and said the tournament would go on as planned.
What was the Callaway video?
The video was an ad for a co-branded Good Good and Callaway driver, and it showed Good Good’s Garrett Clark knocking colleague Alexis Miestowski to the ground. Golf.com called the ad widely criticized, and the reaction cost Good Good a lot more than one tournament.
The fallout came fast. Callaway ended its relationship with Good Good, the company’s apparel came off the shelves at Dick’s Sporting Goods, Golf Galaxy, and PGA Tour Superstore, and Golf Channel postponed and then canceled the first season of Big Break x Good Good. Losing the tournament was the last domino, not the first.

Who is paying for the Austin Championship?
Compliance Solutions is the presenting sponsor, but it’s not picking up the whole bill. Front Office Sports reported on October 29, 2026, that the deal covers this year only and that the company isn’t paying the full 6 million dollars Good Good had agreed to. The amount wasn’t disclosed, and the Tour declined to comment for that report.
Players don’t feel any of that. The Tour committed to the full purse, and the winner still gets 1,080,000 dollars, which is laid out in our Austin Championship payout breakdown. Compliance Solutions isn’t new to this either. It has had its name on a Korn Ferry Tour event since 2023.
Is the Austin Championship the same tournament as the Good Good Championship?
Yes. The Austin Championship is the event the Tour announced as the Good Good Championship, on the same week at the same course. Fazio Canyons plays as a par 72 at 7,451 yards, 120 players are in the field, and the winner gets 500 FedExCup points. Only the name on the banner and the check writer are different.
The people playing it haven’t changed their reasons for showing up, either. This is the next-to-last stop of the FedExCup Fall, and the fight for a 2027 card is the real story. Our Austin Championship field rundown has who’s in. Golf Channel is carrying it, and PGA Tour Live is on the ESPN App.
What the name change means for your bets
Nothing, except that you should search your book for Austin Championship and not Good Good. As of 12:52 PM Central on Monday, November 9, our odds feed for DraftKings, FanDuel, Fanatics, BetRivers, and theScore had no Austin board posted, so there’s no price worth printing yet.
What matters more is that nobody has PGA Tour scoring history at this course. With no history to lean on, the scorecard is the best evidence you’ve got. No par 4 at Fazio Canyons is over 500 yards and six of the 10 are under 450, while three of the four par 3s run 215 yards or longer. That reads like an iron player’s week more than a bomber’s.
That’s our read of the card, not a promise, and it’s why you should think about which stats to weigh when there’s no course history. If you’d rather set those weights yourself, here’s how the Rabbit Hole model builder works.

Good Good Championship FAQ
Will Good Good sponsor a PGA Tour event again?
Nothing has been announced. Good Good said it hopes to work with the Tour again someday, and the Compliance Solutions deal is reported to cover only 2026, so next year’s title spot is an open question.
Has the PGA Tour played in Austin before?
Yes. The last PGA Tour stop in Austin was the 2023 WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play, which was played at Austin Country Club, a different course from Fazio Canyons.
