New Golf Rules and National Tournaments
高爾夫新規則與國家錦標賽
Introduction
The PGA Tour has a new plan for 2028. This plan might change how national golf tournaments work.
PGA Tour 對 2028 年有一個新計劃。這個計劃可能會改變國家高爾夫錦標賽的運作方式。
Main Body
The Tour wants two groups of players. One group is for the best players. The other group is for other players. These two groups cannot play in the same event.
Tour 想要將球員分為兩組。一組是給頂尖球員的，另一組則是給其他球員的。這兩組球員不能在同一個賽事中參賽。
This is a problem for national opens. If an event is for the best players, local players cannot play. If an event is for local players, the best players cannot play.
這對於國家公開賽來說是一個問題。如果賽事是給頂尖球員的，本地球員就無法參賽；如果賽事是給本地球員的，頂尖球員則無法參賽。
Some players are unhappy. Rory McIlroy says national opens need special rules. Robert MacIntyre says some events cannot pay the high money the Tour wants.
部分球員對此感到不滿。Rory McIlroy 表示國家公開賽需要特別規則。Robert MacIntyre 則表示某些賽事無法支付 Tour 要求的高額獎金。
Scottie Scheffler wants the best players to play in Scotland. He thinks it helps them practice for big games.
Scottie Scheffler 希望頂尖球員能在蘇格蘭參賽。他認為這有助於他們為大型賽事做練習。
Conclusion
The PGA Tour must decide. They must choose the new rules or make special rules for national opens.
PGA Tour 必須做出決定。他們必須在執行新規則或為國家公開賽制定特別規則之間做出選擇。
