PGA Tour CEO Rolapp says new model would expand fields at elite events and restore 36-hole cut
Brian Rolapp said the new format would restore 36-hole cuts and create promotion and relegation between two tiers of events.
- On Wednesday, PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp detailed a revamped two-track model featuring roughly 16 Track 1 events with $20 million purses, 120-130 players, and a return to 36-hole cuts.
- Rolapp aims to restore the sport's meritocracy by creating competitive consequences, with the system including substantial promotion and relegation protocols to heighten stakes for players fighting to stay on Track 1.
- The tour plans to utilize $1.5 billion in Strategic Sports Group investment to effectuate the model, with a policy board vote scheduled for June 22 in Hartford, Conn.
- Sponsors have shown demand for both tracks at different price points, while the tour manages the ongoing integration of players returning from LIV Golf following their departures.
- Although the tour is making substantial progress, Rolapp conceded that full implementation of the proposed competitive system will likely not occur until the 2028 season.
