PGA Tour 2028, Hovlands Coup und deutscher Schwung in Eichenried

Hinnerk Baumgarten and Sven Hanfft analyze a week in which professional golf is undergoing a reshuffle: Viktor Hovland wins the Travelers Championship in Monday's playoff against Scottie Scheffler. At the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, Haeran Ryu captures her first major title. Esther Henseleit delivers an important result in the race for Europe's Solheim Cup team with a 15th-place finish. Helen Briem's ​​iron play is statistically noteworthy, but it's not enough to advance to the weekend in Hazeltine. On the DP World Tour, Eugenio Chacarra continues his winning streak at the Open d’Italia. Nicolai von Dellingshausen shows good form with a tenth-place finish before Munich. In the amateur ranks, Tim Wiedemeyer wins the European Championship in Finland and qualifies for The Open at Royal Birkdale. The main focus is the PGA Tour reform starting in 2028: Championship Series, Challenger Series, smaller fields, and promotion and relegation. What's new about this model, what questions remain unanswered, and where the DP World Tour fits in are discussed in detail by the two. Finally, the focus shifts to the BMW International Open in Munich-Eichenried: a strong field, twelve German starters, and the question of who can capitalize on their home advantage.
