Wow – a lot has happened this week after the PGA Tour announced its 2024 schedule changes. Players like Rory McIlroy, Max Homa, and Scottie Scheffler are big advocates, while others like Eddie Pepperell and James Hahn have a problem with it.
Do the changes make the model more competitive and cut-throat? Yes. But have the players also ensured they’re maximizing the money they’re getting from the tour? Also yes. We’ll uncover some of the inside details of how the PGA Tour will use the new tournament format to raise the reputation of each event, get more money from its sponsors, and have higher expectations from its players to perform (or be thrown out).
I’ll also go into how the DP World Tour is going to be affected by this model, where the strategic alliance made between the two tours is likely to suffer tremendously.
