The PGA Tour is trending because it has announced membership categories and a points system for its new Championship and Challenger Series, which start in 2028, and Rory McIlroy has responded to concerns about the qualification changes. The announcement adds detail to the Tour’s revamped competitive structure, explaining the categories for membership and how points will work across the two series.
The coverage also focuses on what the new membership criteria could mean for DP World Tour players trying to earn a card to compete on the US circuit. McIlroy says he is not worried about the potential impact on those players. Together, the announcement and his reaction have put attention on both the PGA Tour’s planned structure and the route players will take to qualify under it.
