In October, the PGA Tour policy board proposed several major changes across the board. Most notably, the field size for the vast majority of events and the overall player pool for the Tour would shrink. These, at the time, were just propositions, but the Tour officially voted on Monday evening to ratify these changes.
The 2025 season will remain untouched. It will play out the same way the 2024 season did. In 2026, though, things will look very different. Here are four of the biggest changes that are now official after the vote.

The PGA Tour has changed the FedEx Cup points distribution. Runner-up finishers in Majors and the Players Championship will get more points for their placements. Those who finish in 11th place and lower will get less. For Signature Events, a similar change is occurring. Those who finish in seventh place or worse will see fewer points. Unlike the other changes, this takes effect immediately in 2025.
