Brandel Chamblee: Curb PGA Tour Exemptions Aiding Rickie Fowler, Jordan Spieth

Chamblee urged Brian Rolapp’s tour to tighten sponsor exemptions for 2026, saying Signature Events are a “closed shop” and should be merit-based. He cited Fowler—101st in last year’s FedEx Cup—playing seven Signature Events via invites, and Spieth’s recent Hero spot. “It shouldn’t be popularity based,” he said. Review expected as formats shrink and fields tighten into 2026 schedule.
