Anonymous PGA Tour players petition for meeting to discuss tour policies
Discontent among at least a portion of PGA Tour players continues to build with the circulation of a membership petition that was sent to members on Thursday.
The petition, which references a group of members but doesn’t identify any specific player, is requesting a “special meeting” to discuss an assortment of issues, from the FedExCup point allocation at signature events to the Player Impact Program, which will be cut from $100 million this season to $50 million next year.
“Currently, a fifth-place finish in a no-cut, 78-player [signature-event] field is awarded 272 percent more points than a fifth-place finish in a traditional event with a cut,” the petition reads. “We are requesting a significant reduction before the first designated events (January’s Sentry is the year’s first signature event).”

The petition also requests discussions on the number of limited-field signature events, the Tour’s leadership, policy board and player directors.
