Back at the end of 2024, the PGA Tour announced a number of changes to its circuit that would take effect in 2026 and, among the changes, there was some controversy.
In the announcement, it was revealed that the Tour would reduce the number of cards available from 125 to 100, as well as the size of tournament fields. What's more, Monday qualifiers for events, which a number of the circuit's current stars have taken part in previously, would be reduced, with just two qualifiers earning spots, not the usual four.
