PGA Tour play-off shake-up a 'big swing' - McIlroy
Back-to-back Masters champion Rory McIlroy believes the PGA Tour are giving fans what they want by changing their end-of-season play-offs to matchplay.
Rory McIlroy, the back-to-back Masters champion and world number two, is pleased with the PGA Tour's decision to introduce matchplay to their end-of-season play-offs. PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp announced on Tuesday that the Tour Championship will now span two weeks, taking place at two different courses, and employ a head-to-head format.
McIlroy believes this change demonstrates the PGA Tour's responsiveness to fan demands and is excited about the concept. The revised play-offs are part of larger changes to the PGA Tour in 2028, including the establishment of a Championship and Challenger series with promotion and relegation between the two. McIlroy hopes more top players will join the DP World Tour and play more events to boost international golf's visibility.
