GOLF: Adam Scott on future of PGA Tour schedule: 'It can't sit still'
Adam Scott says the PGA Tour schedule is set for changes as the tour looks to simplify events and maximize top-player participation. Players like Justin Rose hope the revamp will make the system easier to follow while keeping opportunities and prize money high.

As a member of the PGA Tour's Future Competition Committee, Adam Scott is involved in discussions about the tour’s evolving schedule.
The veteran Australian said he has been gauging fellow players’ opinions on the current state of the tour and how it can improve as officials plan changes to the annual calendar.
"But we don't have a direct position at the moment to really put out there, if you know what I mean. I can't be specific because we don't have the specifics," Scott said Tuesday.
Scott’s comments came ahead of PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp's press conference Wednesday at TPC Sawgrass, leading up to The Players Championship. While details are scarce, it’s clear the schedule will see some form of change.
"I think it's just a matter of if you're sitting still, you're going backwards, when you step outside the game of golf," Scott said. "I don't think there's anything drastically wrong with the PGA Tour because I would think it's the strongest professional golf tour in the world.
"But it can't sit still. I think Brian and his team are now challenged with looking years into the future to ensure it remains the strongest tour in the world. That's where their expertise lies, and I'm confident in his ability to guide the tour forward."
Many believe, based on Rolapp’s use of the term "scarcity," that the 2027 PGA Tour schedule will feature fewer events, concentrating the top players each week.
Also speaking at Sawgrass on Tuesday, Englishman Justin Rose expressed confidence in the planning process and curiosity about potential announcements Wednesday.
"I hope it's simplification, is what I hope it is," Rose said. "There’s a lot of opportunity in terms of the quality of events, fields, and prize money, but the system feels complex. Players are in or out, and there are too many layers.
"It would be nice to have all the opportunity and upside with a simpler system—something fans can follow, players can understand, and that makes the tour easier to navigate."
