Report: PGA player council briefed on potential '28 schedule revamp

More reported details about how the PGA Tour schedule will be revamped in 2028 are starting to emerge.

Golf Channel reported Wednesday that the PGA Tour future competition committee has discussed its ideal vision with the PGA Tour's player advisory council, which would involve splitting the tour into "Track 1" and "Track 2" events.

The Track 1 season, which would be expected to begin in January and carry through August, would reportedly include 15 to 18 events as well as the four major championships.

While it's not yet locked down, Golf Channel reported that the likely range of players that would compete in Track 1 events would be 120 to 130. When factoring in the eight signature events, the Players Championship and the FedEx Cup playoffs -- which may be reduced to two events -- a handful more events would be lumped into Track 1 competition.

Under the reported proposal, the top 90 Track 1 competitors at the end of the season would retain their spot in the top tier for the following season, leaving spots for the top Track 2 finishers and top DP World Tour finishers to each Track 1 berths.

Additionally, this system would not permit sponsor or midseason exemptions for players competing on Track 2 into Track 1 events or for Track 1 players to play in Track 2 events, according to the report.

PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp is expected to hold a press conference to discuss the state of the schedule revamp at the Travelers Championship in late June after the tour's next board meeting on June 22.
