Framing Analysis
PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp announced that the Tour Championship will shift to a two-week match-play format across different courses beginning in 2028, replacing the current 72-hole stroke-play event for the top 30 players. The BMW Championship will expand to the top 90 players before narrowing to 32 for group-stage match play, with the final event awarding the $10 million winner's share from a $40 million purse. The changes preserve the FedEx Cup champion title while introducing new elimination mechanics and venue rotation.
