PGA Tour’s New Tiebreaker Rules

The PGA Tour has revised its playoff format to increase excitement and conclude tournaments sooner. The sudden-death format is now used for all playoffs, except for the FedEx Cup. If players are tied after the first playoff hole, they will continue to play until a winner is determined.
