The PGA Tour is overhauling its schedule and boosting its prize pool in response to a players meeting last week in Delaware held amid pressure from the upstart LIV Golf Series.

Commissioner Jay Monahan announced on Aug. 24 that the top players will commit to taking part in at least 20 events, including 12 that will be given “elevated” status immediately with four events later to reach that level. An average purse of $20 million will be available at each.
