FedEx Cup format

The FedEx Cup is a season-long PGA Tour competition, with players accumulating points based on their finishes throughout the season. At the end of the regular season, the Top 70 golfers will be eligible for the FedEx St. Jude Championship, followed by the Top 50 at the BMW Championship, and ultimately the Top 30 at the TOUR Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta.

The TOUR Championship is now played as a 72-hole stroke play event (with no starting strokes like from 2019-2024), with the winner also being crowned the FedEx Cup Champion. The FedEx Cup champ takes home $10 million in prize winnings and gets a five-year PGA Tour exemption.
