PGA Tour reveals new two-tiered schedule for 2028

PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp announced a new two-tiered schedule starting in 2028 at a June 23 press conference. The format will include a Championship Series featuring 23 or 24 events, and a Challenger Series with at least 20 events. The Championship Series is set to host prestigious tournaments like The Players Championship and four majors, offering high purses and average fields of about 120 players. The Challenger Series will have larger fields of 144 players but lower purses. Specific tournaments for each series will be disclosed in early 2027, with preparations underway to adapt to the new structure.
