A new system for eligibility is being introduced. Winners of major tournaments will now have limited exemptions. Previously, exemptions lasted five years, but they will soon be reduced. The top college senior will be given a spot in the elite tier.

A pathway to the top level has been outlined, with clear rules for reaching and staying there. Exemptions for winning certain events will be two years on the elite circuit. Further details on the new eligibility system are available.

The new system aims to simplify the current structure, with changes set to take effect in 2028.
