PGA Tour governance and Woods' 2028 eligibility enter focus

The Tour's finalized 2028 two-tier structure includes promotion and relegation, transition exemptions, and a Korn Ferry pathway. Woods appears likely to need the career-money-list exemption, while an alternative route may require 15 starts in 2027; recent course footage remains encouraging but adds no verified eligibility, medical, or competitive milestone. Reports also note his Champions Tour eligibility, but not an intention to play.
