The competitors will play one round on each of the Fields Ranch East and West courses the first two days, before playing the final two rounds on the Gil Hanse-designed East Course following the 36-hole cut.
 
The champion and top 20 finishers in the Championship will be named to the Corebridge Financial PGA Team and receive invitations to the 2024 PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky, in May.
 
Pieczynski has an extensive playing history, having won 25 tournaments in his professional career.
