PGA Tour’s new postseason has a clear message: the toughest to qualify for and to win

The PGA Tour's new postseason format aims to emphasize the difficulty of both qualifying and winning. CEO Brian Rolapp described the new tournament as "one of the most difficult tournaments to qualify for and win." The season begins with up to 20 tournaments against the strongest players, leading to the top 90 advancing to the BMW Championship.

The No. 1 player at the end of the week becomes the season winner and receives a substantial prize. The top 32 players then compete in a two-week Tour Championship featuring match play over two golf courses in two cities. This format is intended to be more challenging than previous iterations, though its success depends on fans understanding the significance of the difficulty in both qualifying and winning.
