Please note:
• At the TOUR Championship, the player with the lowest aggregate score over 72 holes when combined with his FedExCup Starting Strokes will win the TOUR Championship and also be crowned FedExCup champion.
• The TOUR Championship will be considered an official victory, but there will be no event prize money. The FedExCup Champion, winner of the TOUR Championship, will earn a bonus of $15 million. FedExCup bonus money is deemed not to be Official Money and will not count on the Official PGA TOUR Money List.
• The FedExCup Champion will earn a five-season exemption (Note: There is no longer a three-season winner’s exemption for winning the TOUR Championship)
• If anyone qualified for the TOUR Championship is unable to participate and/or is disqualified or withdraws for any reason, they will finish in last position for the TOUR Championship. If multiple players do not play, they will tie for last place. Ties are determined the same way as Regular Season FedExCup events where the total money for each tying position is averaged and that average is distributed to each player in tying position.
