The PGA Tour is set to undergo significant changes starting in 2028, as CEO Brian Rolapp announced plans to revamp the tournament schedule. No Signature Events will be held; instead, around 20 equal-value events will feature a promotion and relegation system. Golf Channel analyst Rex Hoggard revealed that the reported purse size for these events could reach between $33 million and $37 million annually, surprising a tournament director.
