In recent years, the PGA Tour has incentivized members to play at least 15 events, with foreign players required to play the minimum to retain membership and all players required to play the minimum to qualify as voting members.
According to a memo recently sent to players, the circuit is set to sweeten the 15-event pot even more starting this season. The memo announced a new bonus program called “Play 15 Bonus,” with $50,000 going to any player who participates in at least 15 events in a season. Although the memo said the new program is “subject to review,” the plan is set to continue each season.
