ST. LOUIS \u2014 The FedEx Cup playoff rotation will look similar next year with one exception. The BMW Championship, held this year at Bellerive<\/a>, will move to Liberty National in New Jersey. The BMW Championship is the only postseason event that moves.<\/p>\n

It led to some measure of consternation this year because of the heat wave and three tournaments in Memphis, Tennessee; St. Louis and Atlanta.<\/p>\n

All that changes with the revamped 2028 schedule, including the format.<\/p>\n

But what makes sense where to play?<\/p>\n

\u201cPlaying in the Southeast once would be good,\u201d Louisiana\u2019s Sam Burns said. \u201cThe Northeast would be probably the best. The West Coast? The problem is you don\u2019t want to go from California to New Jersey.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rory McIlroy would like a word about that. He pointed out that Formula 1 goes from Las Vegas to Qatar in November.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe West Coast works really well,\u201d McIlroy said. \u201cI think the West Coast swing isn\u2019t in a great spot where it is in February. If we could play the West Coast when we should and how the golf courses should play, it would be amazing. Obviously, it would be good for TV. … That makes sense for what they\u2019re trying to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adam Scott is on the PGA Tour boards and was cautious not to tip his hand, though he summed it up by saying, \u201cYou go to the best courses you possibly can, and generally the best courses don\u2019t suit one player or another.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d stay away from the monster modern courses, that\u2019s for sure,\u201d Scott said. \u201cPutting on my PGA Tour hat for a second, we\u2019re trying to showcase the best stuff and you want to go to the best courses.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brian Harman spoke for several players when he said the TPC Southwind for the FedEx St. Jude\u2019s Championship was among the most underrated courses on tour, but the August heat kept it from attracting much energy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an awesome golf course, but we can\u2019t get anyone to watch because it\u2019s 100 degrees,\u201d Harman said. \u201cHole by hole, it\u2019s a championship course. And attendance was good today. But it\u2019s ONE HUNDRED DEGREES. People come out when it\u2019s bearable. This is just brutal.\u201d<\/p>\n
