PGA Tour's packed schedule a challenge, needs to be refined | D'Angelo

The PGA Tour's 2026 schedule features a congested stretch of five major tournaments in six weeks, prompting top players like Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy to skip certain signature events to prevent burnout ahead of majors. Scheffler cited his experience after winning the 2024 Memorial Tournament, where he arrived exhausted at the U.S. Open and finished tied for 41st, as a reason for adjusting his schedule. PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp and players have acknowledged the schedule is not ideal, with refinements expected in future years.
