The PGA Tour has formed a nine-member "Future Competition Committee" chaired by Tiger Woods to conduct a top-to-bottom review of how the circuit stages its tournaments. Chief Executive Officer Brian Rolapp unveiled the panel on 20 August, just days before the season-ending Tour Championship in Atlanta. Alongside Woods, the group includes fellow players Patrick Cantlay, Adam Scott, Camilo Villegas, Maverick McNealy and Keith Mitchell. Business advisers John Henry of Fenway Sports Group, Valero Energy chairman Joe Gorder and former Major League Baseball executive Theo Epstein round out the membership. Rolapp said the committee has a "clean sheet of paper" to propose significant changes aimed at boosting fan appeal, competitive parity and commercial value. Ideas under consideration include trimming the number of events, reducing field sizes and raising prize money so that the sport’s biggest names compete against one another more often. "Nothing’s off the table," Woods told the Wall Street Journal. The Tour’s 2026 schedule is already set, making 2027 the earliest season for any sweeping overhaul.
