DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) -- The European Tour announced on Tuesday that it will group at least seven of its marquee events together as the Rolex Series and will be scrapping the Final Series format beginning with the 2017 season.
The BMW PGA Championship, the Irish Open, the Scottish Open and the Italian Open will join the three Final Series events - the Turkish Airlines Open, the Nedbank Golf Challenge and the season-ending DP World Tour Championship - as part of the new schedule.
The Race to Dubai, formerly known as the Order of Merit, will be retained.
