About this episode

The episode discusses the new PGA Tour Championship Series and Challenger Series, analyzing Rory's unimpressed reaction and the potential creativity of the format.

The PGA Tour has recently released its new Championship Series/Challenger Series two track tournament format, and Rory(!) seems unimpressed. In this episode, Mark, Greg, and Lou take Rory's comments as a jumping off point to discuss how the new format might play out—and how it could have been more creative. Is it just the same thing the Tour had before LIV showed up? Are the Challenger Series events nothing but glorified Korn Ferry tournaments?
