Matt Fitzpatrick has labelled the PGA Tour 's newly introduced elevated event schedule "messy" after Rory McIlroy seemingly broke Tour rules to pull out of this week's RBC Heritage.
Amid the new-found threat of LIV Golf, PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan announced a whole host of changes to the circuit's schedule for 2023 in a bid to keep its star-studded players on side. One change that caught the eye more than most was the elevated status of a number of Tour events.
In total, Monahan confirmed 13 tournaments in total were regarded as 'elevated' - which includes the four majors, the Players Championship and FedEx Cup play-offs.
