Earlier this season the PGA Tour announced a revamped Tour Championship featuring something fans have been begging for: match play.
"The TOUR Championship will also rotate among a series of prestigious venues, some of which have never hosted a TOUR event. Further details on format and expected location(s) for the postseason will be provided at a later date, and full details of the 2028 schedule will be announced in the first quarter of next year," it announced.

Two-time major champion Xander Schauffele revealed his true thoughts.
"I'm not sure. You know, I think -- I'm sure it would be cool. I think everyone enjoyed playing the match play event in Austin. Just the way it's set up and where we play is obviously important, but I think most guys out here just like to compete and, you know, nothing like a heads-up competition like match play," he said.
Schauffele, who has finished outside the top 20 only once over the past 19 major championships, made it clear he'll play anyone, anywhere.
So, overall wherever the competition's great, I'm going to try to be there. If it's match play or stroke play, it honestly doesn't really bother me."
Schauffele is set to tee it up in the Rocket Classic from Detroit Golf Club this weekend.
