PGA Tour revises schedule with new tiered event structure starting in 2028

The PGA Tour announced significant changes to its schedule set to begin in 2028, introducing a two-track system. The Championship Series will feature approximately 130 players competing for $20 million purses, while the Challenger Series will host more players with around $4 million purses. Player director Lucas Glover noted concerns about new rules preventing Championship Series players from participating in the Challenger Series. He highlighted the desire among players to retain opportunities for local tournaments meaningful to them, despite the financial incentives of higher-tier events. Discussion about these changes has intensified among PGA Tour members ahead of the implementation date.
