The PGA Tour changes include reduced fields and no cuts for some events in 2024 while the American opened with a four-under-par 68 in Florida
Jordan Spieth has become the latest high-profile player to admit the threat delivered from LIV Golf has triggered substantial changes on the PGA Tour.will move towards reduced fields and no cuts in a batch of designated, $20m events in 2024. That drew derision from members of the rebel LIV circuit, who feel they have been unfairly castigated for participation in a similar format.“I would be lying if I said that we would have gone through this without LIV,” said Spieth.
“The Tour has been all ears. It’s been a player-friendly, player-organised situation. It’s been honestly pretty fun to be a part of. I hope that we can kick it off the right way and don’t have to make too many adjustments to it because the main thing now is trying to get it as close to right the first time as possible.”
Spieth, who opened the Arnold Palmer Invitational here in Florida with a four-under-par 68, unsurprisingly thinks the PGA Tour’s future looks strong. “I’m very supportive,” he said. “It’s still, you have got to play well to be in the best position. It’s a situation where everyone that holds a full Tour card can play in every single event. I think that’s important to note. Then hopefully it creates a future product model for the next 20-plus years that’s even better than it has been.
Scottie Scheffler, the defending champion, matched Spieth’s day one score. Cameron Young and Chris Kirk, who won the Honda Classic on Sunday, posted the early lead at five under par.
