Tim Finchem will step down as PGA Tour commissioner in the coming months, but he would like to see Olympic golf look different in Tokyo than it did in Rio.

“We may want to do some tweaking to the format,” Finchem said Tuesday. “It would be nice to have some more medals in my view, but that will be something that [commissioner-in-waiting] Jay [Monahan] and the team will work on going forward.”

Finchem, an International Golf Federation board member, did not elaborate on potential tweaks.

The format for Olympic golf has been debated since before it was re-added to the Olympics in 2009.
