PGA Tour University

I was just listening to TGC and about this program.  It's the first I've heard of it.  In a nutshell, it looks to offer the top 15 college players opportunities to gain tour experience as amateurs.  I wonder what motivated the PGA to create this?

I just read about the details of this ( https://www.golfchannel.com/news/what-pga-tour-university-detailed-look-tours-new-major ) . The article makes it sound like a win win for the KF Tour as well as the player and college DIV 1 golf in general. A good way to retain top talent until that talent matures for the regular PGA Tour. But honestly I think it improves the quality of the KF Tour up front or maybe guarantees a steady progressive build up of young talent fielded each year in its events.
