A plan to make it easier for foreign golfers to play in U.S. tournaments while protecting their home tours from being stripped of top talent was approved Tuesday by the PGA Tour.

The tour’s Tournament Policy Board increased the number of annual exemptions, or wild-card berths, for non-members to seven, two more than previously. But to be eligible for the additional two tournament spots on the lucrative U.S. circuit, overseas players now will be required to play at least 11 tournaments on their home tours.
