The PGA Tour is making the most sweeping changes to its eligibility in more than 40 years by eliminating 25 tour cards, along with shrinking the size of its fields.

The all-exempt tour had been in place since 1983 , meaning the top 125 players from the official money list kept a full PGA card the following season.

That changes in 2026 .

Only the top 100 players will earn full tour cards for the following year .

The tour is doing away with 156 -man fields except for two tournaments held on multiple courses.
