The PGA Tour is in "advanced discussions to revamp the Tour Championship format into a bracket-style event," according to sources. The season-ending championship "could be reimagined as early as this year," if ongoing conversations with player directors, TV partners and corporate sponsors "continue as planned." Sources said the tour is "eyeing a bracket-style format with head-to-head play." Both stroke play and match play "are being discussed as options," with the "possibility of players earning a 'bye' based on their FedExCup points heading into the season finale." If format changes are enacted for the 2025 season, the 30-man field and tournament dates (Aug. 21-24) "will remain unchanged." But long-term planning for the event "could involve an even more significant evolution" (THE ATHLETIC, 1/3).
