Summary
With Brian Rolapp's pre-Players press conference less than a week away, Andy Johnson is joined by Kevin Van Valkenburg and Joseph LaMagna to discuss the potential changes coming to the PGA Tour schedule. The three draft their "must-have" events as they attempt to put together an ideal 25-event schedule for 2027. Andy, Joseph, and Kevin decide which events will stay and choose a few longtime Tour stops to cut as the "scarcity schedule" reportedly gets underway next year.
