The PGA Tour will expand its schedule of marquee events and pay golfers additional prize money next year as it tries to fend off a threat from a new rival golf league.

The tour’s top players are committing to play in at least 20 tournaments, including four newly elevated events with $46 million more in total purse money, PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan said Wednesday in a press conference. A bonus pool that rewards players that are popular with fans will be doubled to $100 million, and players meeting certain criteria will be guaranteed a minimum $500,000 per year in earnings.
