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. The new format aims to attract players by increasing prize money while addressing challenges with the existing FedEx Cup playoff structure. Further details on the implementation are expected as discussions continue with major markets.
