New PGA Tour Rules Just Force Rory McIlroy To Play More

The PGA Tour has unveiled new eligibility criteria for its revamped Championship Series set to launch in 2028, which will require players to compete in significantly more tournaments throughout the season. The new system is designed to prevent players from playing minimally after winning a single event, effectively compelling stars like Rory McIlroy to maintain a fuller schedule. The rules were reported on September 21, 2026, by Yahoo Sports contributor Andy Mailhot.
