Have one significant tournament each month that is a major sponsor and 72 holes plus the Major tournaments.

Winning a PGA tour event is a significant accomplishment and has significant rewards including a couple years exemption on tour and entry into most of the majors. 36 hole or 54 hole events would definitely cheapen that accomplishment. Anyone on tour could shoot a low round or two. 4 rounds is a much better test to determine a deserving champion and removes a lot of the luck and fluke that a shorter tournament would have.
