Schedule changes will be a challenge for players like Stenson

NASSAU, Bahamas – The PGA Tour’s dramatic makeover of its schedule beginning in 2019 prompted a number of changes to the European Tour's lineup, with the latter circuit shifting five of eight Rolex Series events after the Tour Championship.

In theory, the moves should have made it easier for players who play both tours to fulfill their membership requirements, but that doesn’t seem to be the case for Henrik Stenson.

“I think for me it actually made it harder on the PGA Tour because in a way changing the PGA [Championship] from early August and putting that into the spring, that would actually occupy a tournament that I potentially could have played before,” he said on Wednesday at the Hero World Challenge.
