Sweeping changes as PGA Tour reveals details of 2-track system - ESPN

CROMWELL, Conn. — The PGA Tour has approved recommendations from the Future Competition Committee that will dramatically reshape the tour's competitive structure starting in 2028, the tour announced Tuesday.

The Future Competition Committee's recommended changes were approved by the PGA Tour Policy Board and PGA Tour Enterprises Board during meetings in West Hartford, Connecticut, on Monday.

Among other changes, the tour's new model will include two separate series of tournaments — the PGA Tour Championship Series and PGA Tour Challenger Series — that will run concurrently during the season. The Challenger Series will be the primary pathway to the Championship Series, with golfers competing to advance to the top track, including in-season elevation with two victories.

The PGA Tour hopes the dramatic changes will bring «competitive clarity and heightened consequence» and «deliver a stronger, more compelling experience for fans, players and partners.»
