In a significant overhaul, the PGA Tour has announced the elimination of the staggered start format for the Tour Championship, reverting to a traditional 72-hole stroke-play format. This decision, praised by players including world number one Scottie Scheffler, means that all competitors will start from scratch, enhancing the competitive nature of the FedEx Cup finale. This change, effective immediately, aims to simplify the format and improve spectator engagement, with endorsements from numerous players reflecting a positive reception to the new structure.
