What Is the FedEx Cup Format?
TOUR members accumulate FedExCup points based on their performance in each tournament, prioritizing victories and top finishes. The top 70 players in the FedExCup standings qualify for the FedExCup Playoffs, which consist of three events featuring progressive cuts — reducing the field sizes to 70, 50, and finally 30 players, respectively.
The TOUR Championship features a unique format known as the “FedEx Cup Starting Strokes,” where players begin the tournament with a staggered start based on their regular season FedEx Cup standings. The top-ranked player starts at 10 under par, the second-ranked at eight under, the third at seven under, and so forth, down to the 30th player starting at even par. The player with the lowest score relative to par at the TOUR Championship claims victory in both the tournament and the FedEx Cup.
