(Reuters) - Format changes including fewer points will be introduced to the Presidents Cup later this year in South Korea, bringing it more in line with the Ryder Cup, the PGA Tour announced on Monday.
The total number of points on offer at the biennial team competition will be reduced from 34 to 30 and each player will be required to take part in only two of the first four sessions, as opposed to three of four in the past.
The number of matches on each of the first two days will be reduced from six to five and on Saturday, the third day, four four-ball and four foursome matches will be played instead of the previous five and five.
