Trey and Justin Ray answered your biggest questions, including the return of match play and the possibility of championship events at Pine Valley, Cypress Point, and Seminole. What Are You Most Excited About? For Trey, the answer is simple: meritocracy. No sponsor exemptions. Mandatory cuts. Full fields. The new structure is built around earning your place. Justin's answer starts with the return of the Friday cut. Every player has something to play for, and every shot matters. But the real excitement came when Pine Valley and Seminole appeared in the Tour's future plans. Match Play Is Coming Back This is the headline. Match play is golf in its purest form: one player against another, hole by hole. It creates moments stroke play cannot. A lesser-known player can take down the world No. 1 on any given day. Trey points to Nick O'Hern beating Tiger Woods twice in match play as the perfect example. That's the magic of the format. Justin notes the television challenges — fewer players means fewer shots and storylines — but both agree the drama is worth it. What Courses Should Be Added? Trey's pick is Chicago Golf Club, one of the country's most historic and underrated courses. Justin would like to see the PGA Tour return to the Pacific Northwest, highlighting Chambers Bay and Sahalee. Both also mention Bandon Dunes as a dream destination after its successful U.S. Amateur. What Questions Remain? Several details still need answers. Five Championship Tour events have not been announced. The medical exemption process remains unclear. The future role of the Korn Ferry Tour has not been finalized. Neither have many playoff venues. Rolapp's message was that 2027 will serve as a transition year, with more details arriving gradually. Gino Titikul at the KPMG Justin describes Gino Titikul as one of the most intriguing players in the sport. Still only 22, she has already piled up major championship close calls and multiple victories. Her game fits major-championship golf perfectly, and Justin believes a breakthrough feels inevitable. The Fan Behavior at Shinnecock Both Trey and Justin thought the crowd crossed the line during Wyndham Clark's U.S. Open victory. Cheering for your favorite player is one thing. Actively rooting for another player to fail is something else. The positive takeaway? Clark handled it perfectly, stayed composed, and won anyway. Did the USGA Get It Right? Trey and Justin both believe the USGA did. The setup was initially influenced by weather forecasts that never fully materialized. As conditions changed, the course became more difficult over the weekend. Justin's final statistic says it all: only three players finished the championship under par. At a U.S. Open, that usually means the course did exactly what it was supposed to do. Watch More Golf Player Interviews: • Player Interviews Watch More Golf Expert Interviews: • Expert Interviews
