Schedule tweaks should boost Tour drama
Buckle up and hold on to your seats as the PGA Tour is poised to deliver a spectacular extravaganza in 2019, with golf's newest and rising stars colliding with the legends of the game.
A revamped PGA Tour schedule, now featuring a blockbuster tournament each month from March to August, plus more cash than ever following a hike in the FedExCup bonus payout and the introduction of the Wyndham Rewards scheme, all but guarantee plenty of thrills, spills and drama for players, fans and TV viewers alike.
The growing strength and depth of the Tour's talent pool - there were 10 wins by players 25 years or younger last season - has commentators brimming with anticipation as the new generation of stars such as Brooks Koepka, Justin Thomas, Dustin Johnson, Jon Rahm, Jason Day, Rory McIlroy, Rickie Fowler, Xander Schauffele and 2018 FedExCup champion Justin Rose continue to reel off world-class performances.
