There are just three events left in the 2025 PGA Tour season, with the focus largely on the players fighting to keep their cards for next year.

While the likes of Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler are done on the PGA Tour in 2025, the stakes could not be higher for a number of golfers.

Of course, this year will see only the top 100 players in the FedEx Cup remain full members of the PGA Tour. So the pressure is certainly on.

However, that does not translate into huge interest from fans. Obviously, all of the superstar names are able to rest up at this time of the year – unless they are involved with the DP World Tour.

Something arguably needs to change.

Johnson Wagner suggests what would make the FedEx Cup Fall more compelling

The PGA Tour are in a tricky position. They cannot make the majority of fans automatically care about the events which do lack star power.

But they also need to provide opportunities for those further down the food chain, particularly as some will be able to secure spots in signature events in 2026 during this Fall series.

Speaking on 5 Clubs, Johnson Wagner admitted that he was pessimistic about the future of the Fall.

He also went on to suggest what he would do with the events later in the year to try and satisfy all parties.

“I thought it was [disappearing]. But then, when you see the announcement of the Good Good event in Austin next November, and then I’ve heard rumours of a new Fall event, possibly in Asheville, North Carolina, I thought they were trying to phase it out with the fact that Sanderson Farms doesn’t have a sponsor for next year, Vegas left this year, there’s rumours of a couple others Fall events going away. But they continue to keep adding to it,” he said.

“I think the Fall is crucial for these young guys, these rookies, even a Justin Lower who played well. You don’t get enough starts during the year. You don’t get enough momentum. And these guys need that opportunity to try to get into the top 100 and keep their card.”

“It’s such an interesting question. I look at it from the viewpoint of being a former player and wanting the Fall there for these guys. But then, from a media perspective, I’m kind of okay if the Fall goes away,” he went on to add.

“It needs to be some sort of four-tournament series or some kind of Q-School. Lump Q-School and some of these tournaments together and make it for employment. I just feel like with Brian Rolapp and the fact that he wants scarcity, I think there’s a lot of events in the Fall that people just flat out don’t pay attention to.

“I think if you made it for employment and had some sort of smaller series of these events, I think it could be pretty compelling.”

LIV Golf may have finally made a decision the PGA Tour should be envious of

LIV Golf has rightly come in for a lot of criticism over the years for how they have failed to enforce relegation.

It was farcical to see Branden Grace keep his place for 2025 after ending up in the drop zone. He is not a captain on Stinger, and he did not earn his place back through qualifying.

So the league ended up in the bizarre situation where they were having to confirm to players that relegation would be enforced this season.

It remains to be seen if they stick to their word. But if they do, the PGA Tour can arguably take something from them.

Ultimately, LIV will benefit in their last few events in 2026 if relegation is ruthless.

Obviously, no one wants to see anyone lose their jobs. But if the Korn Ferry Tour can get stronger, then perhaps the PGA Tour would benefit from doing away with conditional memberships.

If you are inside the top 100 or already exempt, you get to keep your card. If you are below that line, you should have to spend the next year trying to earn your way back onto the PGA Tour.
