The PGA Tour unveiled its new-look structure for the 2024 season featuring eight 'designated events' with elite fields, no cut and increased prize money hailed by Rory McIlroy as producing a "compelling product".

The move follows discussions between the tour and top players such as McIlroy and Tiger Woods in the wake of the emergence of the rival, Saudi-backed, LIV Golf tour.
