Rory McIlroy questions PGA Tour schedule plans and admits old system was 'pretty good' before LIV Golf's arrival

Rory McIlroy has questioned proposed new changes to the PGA Tour schedule and admits the old system was ‘pretty good’ before LIV Golf’s emergence in the men’s game.

The PGA Tour continues to work towards a proposed new-look schedule, with further details expected to be announced later this month ahead of its launch in 2028, including two "tracks" of tournaments with promotion and relegation across a two-tier system.

Track one events would have elevated prize purses and stronger fields, effectively an increased number of Signature Events first introduced to the PGA Tour schedule in response to LIV Golf's emergence.

LIV Golf's future remains uncertain after Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) confirmed they would stop funding the league after this season, while McIlroy admits that there's a new appreciation of the PGA Tour's previous calendar.
