Rory McIlroy supports new Tour Championship format for 2028

PGA Tour players express support for a revamped Tour Championship format beginning in 2028. Rory McIlroy praised the innovative structure, which introduces group play and sudden-death matches. The changes include a new two-week championship, with the top 32 players facing off in head-to-head matchups. More than $100 million in bonuses has been distributed this season, culminating in a $40 million purse for the ongoing Tour Championship. The new format aims to enhance excitement and may feature courses that are not traditional PGA venues.
