PGA Tour pro slams system for poor pace of play, says new changes will…..
The PGA Tour has proposed some changes to help the pace of play by limiting fields based on daylight. Slow play has been a problem for some golfers for a while, and this is the reported solution that is being considered for 2026. However, Tour pro Michael Kim doesn’t believe this will do anything to help.
Depending on a few factors, the fields would drop to 144, 132, or 120 players. Almost all tournaments would shrink, and only a few would stay the same. The overall number of qualifying members of the PGA Tour would drop from the top 125 on the FedEx Cup to the top 100.
They would also limit the number of Korn Ferry Tour players coming in from 30 to 20, with 10 coming from the DP World Tour and five from qualifying school. The size of the Tour as a whole would shrink significantly if these changes are accepted. The vote has not yet happened, but all signs point to an approval.
