Though some of the new changes resemble its Saudi Arabian-backed counterpart, PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan insisted on Tuesday that the two leagues are still incredibly different from each other.
The Tour announced several new changes for next season, which include limited fields and no cuts at certain designated events. LIV Golf, which just started its second season, has been running 54-hole no-cut tournaments.
Last month, the Tour announced specific changes for its schedule next season. There will be 16 total designated events, half of which are the four major championships, The Players Championship and the FedExCup Playoffs. Those events will maintain their usual cuts and field sizes. The other eight events will then feature no more than 80 golfers, have no cut and will include elevated purses and points.
While parts of it look similar to what LIV Golf is doing, and the changes come amid a long, legal battle with the new circuit, Monahan thinks the adjustments will keep the best golfers competing regularly throughout the year. "This is what fans want and this is what fans have been asking for … You need strong, compelling full-field events to provide consistency and keep the PGA Tour top of mind week-in and week-out with storylines and breakout stars."Though things have been contentious between the Tour and LIV Golf since it started."Without LIV Golf, this wouldn't have happened," Rahm said Tuesday.
