PGA Tour moving to match play for two-week Tour Championship at two courses
The PGA Tour is set to change its postseason format for 2028, moving away from the current 72-hole stroke play Tour Championship held at a single course towards a two-week format involving different golf courses and match play. PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp disclosed these changes before the Tour Championship, which currently determines the FedEx Cup champion and awards $10 million in official prize money.
Under the new system, the BMW Championship will select the top 90 players for the following two-week event. Points accrued throughout the season will carry over, with the season champion receiving additional bonus money. The top 32 players will then compete in eight groups of four in the final event, also played in match play over four days.
Even those eliminated early in the BMW Championship will continue through the final weekend to determine their final standings. This new structure aims to create more opportunities for players and increase the excitement of the postseason.
