Golf Players Call for Longer Major Season as Schedule Condenses

Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, and Scottie Scheffler have advocated for extending the major championship calendar, citing its current compressed timeframe.

• Jon Rahm said an international major in Australia, Europe, or Asia could be explored for the sport’s global growth.
• Rory McIlroy stated he would like to see the major season spread out longer to sustain interest in the game.
• Scottie Scheffler noted the PGA Tour season is becoming quicker and suggested a possible break between majors.
• The Open at Royal Birkdale this week is the only major outside the United States, with Portmarnock in Ireland planned as a future venue.
