Aug. 25 (UPI) -- Elite golfers will compete in a two-week match play competition to cap the PGA Tour Championship Series starting in 2028, officials announced Tuesday.
The PGA Tour announced in June that it would revamp its playoff system with a new competitive structure, which includes the Championship Series and PGA Tour Challenger Series.
"From the beginning, the goal of the future competition committee was to create an easier-to-follow competitive model for our fans with greater consequence and a stronger season-long narrative," PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp said in a news release.
"Throughout this process, we listened carefully to our fans, players and partners. One message came through clearly: the culmination of our season should be worthy of the journey it takes to get there."
Participants in the Championship Series will compete in 72-hole tournaments and be measured through a season-long points system. The season, which will run from February to August, will feature about two dozen events, including the Players Championship, majors and international team events.
