PGA Tour star Rory McIlroy has defended proposed changes to next season’s schedule that will see reduced fields and no cut at some of the most high profile events in a move designed to combat the challenge of rival LIV Golf.

Commissioner Jay Monahan issued a memo to all PGA Tour members on Wednesday detailing changes that will see reduced fields of 70-78 players at some of the ‘designated’ events plus the removal of the 36-hole cut.

Ad The ‘designated’ events already benefit from significantly greater prize money and these latest changes are the PGA Tour's latest attempt to counter LIV Golf that has lured away many top players with limited field, no-cut events and substantial financial rewards.
