Crucial questions include how many players will qualify via points, which tournaments will count towards the ranking, and whether the notorious Captain's Picks will continue to add the necessary intrigue. Also, the exact qualification period and potential changes from the 2023 and 2025 models are hot topics currently under discussion.
