PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp announced significant changes to the postseason structure for 2028 on Tuesday, prior to the Tour Championship. The current 72-hole stroke play format for the Tour Championship, which determines the FedEx Cup champion, will be replaced with a two-week match play event. The BMW Championship, the only postseason event that rotates locations, will now accommodate the top 90 players based on season points.
Points will continue from the regular season, awarding the leader the season championship and additional bonus money. Following the BMW Championship, the top 32 players will be divided into eight four-player pools, with the top two from each advancing to the final event. The match play finale will occur over four days, with the first two weeks offering no trophy, but determining the 16 players who progress to the championship showdown.
