PGA Tour Sets 2026 ‘Meritocracy’: New Status Tiers From 101–150

CEO Brian Rolapp’s overhaul trims full status to the top 100 in 2026 and creates new tiers: 101–110 with greater access, 111–125 with reduced starts, and 126–150 with limited opportunities. Golf Channel’s Rex Hoggard estimates No.101 could still get “15–20 events,” enough to keep a card. The Future Competition Committee backs the push for aggressive meritocracy ahead.
