Yahoo Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- The PGA Tour announced new eligibility rules for its Championship Series starting in 2028, which will make it harder for Tiger Woods to qualify for top events due to his current status and recent performance.
- The new rules include four main qualification paths: retained players (top 90 finishers annually), promoted players from the Challenger Series top 20, two-time winners in the Challenger Series, and two-year winner exemptions for major and Championship Series event winners.
- Tiger Woods' potential routes to qualify include a one-time exemption for career earnings, which he may lose as Scottie Scheffler recently surpassed him, or meeting the standard requirement of competing in 15 events, which may be unlikely given Woods' health.
- Woods recently appeared publicly at his charity event, the Nexus Cup, showing promising form but has not yet announced his plans for the 2027 season, with the option to join the PGA Tour Champions now that he has turned 50.
