This week on the Golf Monthly Tour Issue, Baz, Jonny and Elliott recap Scottie Scheffler’s Tour Championship victory and examine the controversy surrounding his record-breaking PGA Tour career earnings. The panel also debate whether prize money reflects modern dominance or just skyrocketing purse sizes, before diving into the proposed 2028 Tour Championship changes and sharing creative ideas to revamp PGA Tour tournament formats.

The focus then shifts to the DP World Tour for the Omega European Masters. Baz breaks down key course stats for Crans-sur-Sierre, discusses why second-shot play and scrambling are crucial at this venue and the team reveal their top betting picks for the week.
