New commissioner hints at possible schedule tweak

The PGA Tour schedule of the last few years could undergo some tweaks if new commissioner Jay Monahan has his way.

Monahan takes over this month as the Tour's top executive, succeeding Tim Finchem who recently closed out a 22-year run. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, the 46-year-old noted that he would like to see some changes to the season's closing stretch.

The Tour introduced the FedEx Cup Playoffs in 2007, and went to a wraparound schedule beginning in 2013. Both iterations feature postseason events running in late August and through September, just as college and NFL football kicks into high gear.
