Kind of a lot to unpack in the new changes announced today:

https://www.pgatour.com/news/2022/08...-schedule.html

I guess they see the PIP as the vehicle to keep paying the big names who may not win as much any more, and get them committed to playing the bigger tournaments. It doesn't seem like they are going to to move to too many small field/no cut tournaments as previously suggested.

I don't love the changes, but could be worse It still keeps the meritocracy for qualifying for tournaments, but compromises by giving the bigger stars another avenue to making money.
