PGA Tour Overhauls FedEx Cup Finale with Three-Tier Bonus and Even-Par Start

A $100 million bonus pool remains in place with quadruple playoff points reinforcing season-long consistency

Overview

  • Under the new model golfers earn $10 million at the close of the regular season, $5 million after the BMW Championship and $10 million for winning the Tour Championship.
  • The staggered-start system has been eliminated in favor of a standard 72-hole stroke-play format in which all 30 competitors begin at even par.
  • The overall FedEx Cup bonus pool remains at $100 million, and the Comcast Business Tour Top 10 bonus fund continues its $40 million allocation.
  • FedEx Cup points at the FedEx St. Jude and BMW Championships are still quadruple in value to enable significant movement in the standings.
  • Tour officials say the revisions aim to reward season-long consistency and deliver a clearer, more engaging season finale for fans.
