PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp met with the media at PGA Tour Global Headquarters on Wednesday ahead of the 2026 Players Championship to present six themes for a new Tour competitive model that is currently in the works. They include a season that runs late January to early September; more consistent and larger fields with cuts; opening the season with a big, marquee event at an iconic venue on the West Coast; evaluating large U.S. markets; a promotion and regulation system; and an enhanced postseason with the potential integration of match play. Things are not set in stone, Rolapp emphasizes, but this is currently where the Tour is heading.
