Change is coming to the PGA Tour in 2024. Whether that is a good thing depends upon who you ask.
During a board meeting held Tuesday in Orlando ahead of the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Palmer’s Bay Hill Lodge & Club, the Tour approved reducing the size of fields and eliminating the cut at several of its designated events. It also created a pathway for players in the regular events to get promoted to the tournaments with the strongest fields and largest purses. The moves should please sponsors and television honchos, who can rest easy knowing that the biggest names will be guaranteed to play in all four rounds, As for members of the rank-and-file? They may perceive the Tour as becoming more of a closed shop.
