The 2025 PGA Tour season has yet to conclude, but that has not stopped some from looking to next year's schedule. After the PGA Tour released the playing calendar for the 2026 season on Tuesday, Rory McIlroy was asked about the cadence of the tournaments and the addition of another signature event to the campaign.

Instead of trying to concoct a new way to mandate participation in top events, the Tour would be better served by focusing on building a better schedule.

Trump National Doral is back on the PGA Tour schedule next year as a signature event that is sure to test how often the top golfers want to play during an extraordinary spring of five big tournaments in a six-week stretch.
