The FedEx Cup Bonus Fund
The first part of the season is when the players earn points for each event they play. The number of points for winning a tournament varies from 250 to 600 depending on the quality of the field. The final position of the players in the tournament is what determines the number of points awarded.
The player with the most points after the Tour Championship wins the FedEx Cup and gets a bonus fund of over $60 million. The runner-up gets $5 million, 3rd place $4 million, 4th place $3 million, 5th place $2.5 million, and so on down to $70,000 for 126th through 150th place. The non-exempt players who finish 126th-150th in the FedEx Cup will be given a chance to improve their priority rankings through the Tour Finals.
The Golf World
There is a sense that there is too much golf and too little time off, even though the PGA Tour does impose a six-week hiatus from late November to early January. If golf wants to spread itself across the best part of a calendar year, then let the Christmas break mark the end and New Year the opening and fit the finale into that sequence. A regular season provides rhythm and centre to golf in its present state.
As a sport it has an overblown sense of self that is incommensurable with its ability to organize and feed itself. The Olympics have distorted the picture further. Golf does not need to advance itself, it is not a real sport and the players are not willing to commit to it.
The FedEx Cup
The title of the PGA Tour champion for the year is at stake, and the prize money is bigger, as the professional golfer has a big incentive to qualify and compete for the FedEx Cup.
The PGA Tour
The most fiercely fought tour in golf is the PGA Tour, which has weekly tournaments occurring between October and August. The golfers are not expected to compete in every event. In order to win more money and points, golfers compete in as many tournaments as they can.
The prestige of the tournaments and the position of the golfer are what determine the points given to them. The golfer with the lowest score in a World Golf Championship event will get more points than the winner. The Masters, US Open, British Open, and the PGA Championship are the four Majors that give the most points to the winner.
The First Season of the FedEx Cup playoffs
The FedEx Cup playoffs format has changed several times since it was introduced in 2007, and the first season of the FedEx Cup playoffs is in the fall of 2019. The points from regular season events are combined at the end of the season to form the points for the final event. The top 125 players in the FedEx Cup will qualify for the playoffs.
125 players lock up theirPGA Tour cards for the next season The FedEx Cup points will be wiped out in the Tour Championship format in Atlanta in 2019. The FedEx Cup points will be important, as the Tour Championship will become a handicap tournament, with each player in the field starting at a certain position against par before a shot is ever hit.
The sigma model at the LHC
Every player in the field will start on four under and go back to square one until they are on par.
The Top 10 Players in the FedEx Cup
The current top 10 players are mostly players who have played well in the FedEx Cup Playoffs. Both Cantlay and Finau won, while DeChambeau, Smith and Rahm were all in the running. The top 10 are going into the Tour Championship.
The Ultimate Prize: How Many Points Will You Win?
Winning a normal PGA Tour event, The Genesis Invitation, Arnold Palmer Invitation, Memorial Tournament, and the World Golf Championships will get you 500 points, while 600 will be the top spot in the Masters, PLAYERS, US Open, Open Championship and PGA Championship. Points are given to golfers that reach the 36-hole cut in a tournament. All accumulated points go out once the Tour Championship is over.
To get a spot in the exclusive top 30 needed to reach the final round and to earn a nice handicap to begin the championship, you need to rack up points. Winning the FedEx Cup Playoffs will result in a large sum of money. The winner will get to take home a cool fifteen million dollars.
The Top 125 Players in the FedEx Cup Finals
The FedEx Cup playoffs will be held in the fall of 2021, after the regular season ends with the Wyndham Championship. The top 125 players in the FedEx Cup points race at the end of the season are the players who qualify for the playoffs. No one else will be eligible for the FedEx Cup playoffs in 2021, even if a player withdraws due to injury or other issues.
The FedEx Cup and the Tour Championship
The FedEx Cup points are used to set the starting positions for the Tour Championship for the 30 players that make it that far. The Tour Championship begins at 10 under, followed by the second and third at eight under. The players ranked 26-30 are at par. The FedEx Cup and its $15 million bonus are won by the lowest score to par, and the points system is abandoned once that is done.
Patrick Cantlay in the FedEx Cup
Patrick Cantlay won the FedEx Cup Playoffs and the 15 million dollar prize on Sunday, after finishing one shot ahead of Jon Rahm. After winning the BMW Championship in a six-hole playoff over Bryson DeChambeau, Patrick Cantlay is the leader in the player of the year race. The figures were very interesting.
The winner of the Tour Championship made fifteen million dollars. If you make it to the final event, you're guaranteed $395,000 even if you finish 30th or withdraw like Brooks. Everyone who made it to the BMW Championship was guaranteed at least $140,000.
The 30th Place Prize Money in the Tour Championship
The prize money for 30th place will be given to players who are unable to compete in the Tour Championship. No one will replace that player.
The Point of the Finals
Isn't that the point of the playoffs? To give everyone something to talk about? A $5 million or $4 million pay day would have generated a lot of interest.
