The PGA Tour has announced significant changes to its schedule, set to be implemented in 2028. The new system will feature a two-tiered structure, with the top 90 players on the points list retained in the Championship Series and the rest facing relegation to the Challenger Series.
Key Changes
A minimum of 20 players from the Challenger Series will be promoted each season, with remaining spots determined through multiple criteria, including tournament winners and a new ‘last chance’ series. The last chance series will take place in the fall, consisting of four to six events to determine the final spots on the following season’s Challenger Series.
The introduction of relegation and promotion, as well as match play, is expected to add excitement to the golf world. The new system will provide clarity and a more straightforward format for fans, with the top-tier system featuring huge purses and the best circuit in professional golf.
