The PGA Tour has unveiled a two-track, merit-based system with a Championship Series and a Challenger Series. The plan, announced ahead of the Travelers Championship, introduces promotion and relegation, a match-play format for the Tour Championship, and multi-million dollar purses across both tracks. Official rollout is set for the 2028 season.

The PGA Tour has approved a two-tier Championship and Challenger system to launch in 2028, with a clear path from college to the top level. The plan includes a Last Chance Series and a revised exemption framework, plus a unified points distribution of 300 for event winners across majors and signature events.
