FedExCup Overview


Established in 2007, the FedExCup is a season-long points competition offering $75 million in bonus money and culminating with the FedExCup Playoffs in August. Players vie to become the FedExCup Champion, which distinguishes the one player who not only performs well during the FedExCup Regular Season, but also excels through the pressure of the FedExCup Playoffs. Players to hoist the FedExCup trophy include Tiger Woods (2007 and 2009), Vijay Singh (2008), Jim Furyk (2010), Bill Haas (2011), Brandt Snedeker (2012), Henrik Stenson (2013), Billy Horschel (2014), Jordan Spieth (2015), Rory McIlroy (2016, 2019 and 2022), Justin Thomas (2017), Justin Rose (2018), Dustin Johnson (2020) and Patrick Cantlay (2021).

FedExCup Regular Season


The 2022-23 FedExCup Regular Season features 47 official FedExCup events beginning with the 2022 Fortinet Championship and running through the 2023 Wyndham Championship. TOUR members earn FedExCup points based on their finish at each tournament, with an emphasis placed on wins and high finishes.

FedExCup Points Distribution

  • Official PGA TOUR events award 500 FedExCup points to first place
  • THE PLAYERS Championship, Masters Tournament, PGA Championship, U.S. Open and The Open Championship award 600 FedExCup points to first place
  • World Golf Championships events and the Sentry Tournament of Champions, The Genesis Invitational, Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard, and the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday award 550 FedExCup points to first place
  • The Zurich Classic of New Orleans, a two-man team event, awards 400 points to each player on the first-place team
  • Additional events award 300 FedExCup points to first place
  • Three tournaments count on both the PGA TOUR’s FedExCup and the DP World Tour Rankings: the Barbasol Championship (300 FedExCup points to first place), Barracuda Championship (300) and Genesis Scottish Open (500)

FedExCup Points are awarded by finish position as defined in the point distribution tables. Limited field events during the FedExCup competition will not redistribute the points for places that do not play. For example, if the Sentry Tournament of Champions has a field of 30 players, the points awarded will be based on the points that would be awarded to each individual position in a full-field event from positions 1 to 30. This will result in the points that would have otherwise been awarded from positions 31–65 in a regular event not being awarded in the tournament.

Another example is the World Golf Championships-Dell Technologies Match Play, a 64-player field. In this limited-field event, points for positions 65 and beyond would not be awarded.

Ties – Points will be distributed to those in tying positions using the same method currently used to distribute prize money when there is a tie. That is, the total points for each tying position will be averaged and that average will be distributed to each player in the tying position.

FedExCup Playoffs


At the conclusion of the Regular Season (following the 2023 Wyndham Championship), the top 70 players in the FedExCup standings will be eligible to play in the FedExCup Playoffs, a series of three events over the month of August (prior to 2019, the FedExCup Playoffs included four events). Points earned during the FedExCup Regular Season carry over to the first two Playoffs events. Players will compete in the FedExCup Playoffs for their share of the $75 million total in bonus money, with the FedExCup Champion taking home $18 million.

The FedExCup Playoffs feature a progressive cut, with fields of 70 for the FedEx St. Jude Championship (TPC Southwind, Memphis, Tennessee), 50 for the BMW Championship (Olympia Fields Country Club, North Course, Olympia Fields, Illinois) and 30 for the TOUR Championship (East Lake Golf Club, Atlanta, Georgia), where the FedExCup Champion will be determined. In the event an eligible player is unable or chooses not to play, the field will be shortened and no alternates will be added.

The FedEx St. Jude Championship will cut the field to low 65 and ties after 36 holes, while the BMW Championship and TOUR Championship are no-cut events.

There are no cuts in FedExCup Playoffs events.

TOUR Championship and FedExCup Starting Strokes

At the TOUR Championship, the player with the lowest stroke total over 72 holes when combined with his FedExCup Starting Strokes will be crowned the FedExCup Champion, be credited with an official victory at the TOUR Championship, earn a bonus of $18 million and a five-year PGA TOUR exemption.

The FedExCup points leader after the first two Playoffs events will begin the TOUR Championship at 10-under par. The No. 2 player will start at 8-under. The No. 3 player starts at 7-under; the No. 4 player starts at 6-under; the No. 5 player starts at 5-under. Players 6-10 start at 4-under; players 11-15 start at 3-under; players 16-20 start at 2-under; players 21-25 start at 1-under; and players 26-30 start at even par.

In the event there are tied players at any position going into the TOUR Championship, tied players will be awarded the same number of Starting Strokes for round one. For example, if two players are tied for second position, both players would start at 8-under and the No. 4 player would start at 6-under.

FedExCup points are distributed to players earning official money. Only players who are PGA TOUR Members or become members during the season will be listed on the FedExCup Points List.
