The FedExCup Fall Series on the PGA Tour promises more drama and tension than ever, as players compete in top-tier events to secure their PGA Tour status. The fall tournaments offer winners the same benefits as regular-season events – including a two-year PGA Tour exemption, 500 FedExCup points, and entry into prestigious tournaments like The Players, The Sentry, and the Majors that invite PGA Tour winners.
FedExCup Fall: Fight for PGA Tour Status and Signature Events
The FedExCup Fall is also the time when the 125 spots for full-field events are up for grabs, along with a coveted place in The Players tournament for the following season. After the conclusion of the FedExCup Playoffs, players who are ranked 51st and below in the FedExCup standings continue to compete for points in the fall. They begin this stretch with all the points they’ve accumulated during the regular season and the first FedExCup Playoffs event, the FedEx St. Jude Championship. Additionally, the top 10 players on the FedExCup points list at the end of the fall, who have not yet qualified for the Signature Events, will have a chance to participate in the two Signature Events following the season opener. This allows rising stars to test themselves against the best players.
Those ranked 51st to 70th in the FedExCup standings at the start of the fall have already secured their Top 125 eligibility for the following year but are competing for spots in the first two Signature Events. Players ranked 71st and above can earn one of 10 available spots in these Signature Events, while also fighting to remain in the Top 125 of the FedExCup standings by the end of the fall season. Players who finish between 126th and 150th on the final points list will gain conditional status for the 2024 PGA Tour season. Any player outside the Top 125 will have the opportunity to improve or regain their Tour status through PGA Tour Q-School.
