PGA Tour Schedule Rebellion

Rory is skipping the 3M Open using the 'extenuating circumstances' clause, prioritizing family and majors. He is in constant dialogue with CEO Rolapp about membership exemption and has openly criticized the two-track schedule. His reduced schedule is projected to result in his lowest earnings in years, also impacting his caddie's income. A recent article detailed caddie Harry Diamond's earnings, including a $450k Masters bonus, highlighting the financial ripple effects. A new expert analysis underscores the PGA Tour's tough reality: Rory's family-first shift and focus on majors/national opens over regular events doesn't benefit the Tour's star power.
