The PGA TOUR's reported 2027 schedule is beginning to take shape, and there could be major implications for players, tournaments, sponsors, and fans.
Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme break down the latest reporting from Sports Business Journal's Josh Carpenter, discuss the disappearance of Hawaii from the opening stretch of the season, debate new tournament dates, and analyze how the TOUR's proposed two-track system could reshape professional golf beginning in 2028.
The conversation also turns toward LIV Golf, recent reports surrounding the league's business operations, and whether future cooperation between the PGA TOUR, DP World Tour, and LIV could eventually emerge.
