FEDEXCUP

What is the FedExCup?
The FedExCup is a season-long competition that originated in 2007 to determine a champion of each season on the PGA TOUR. Players vie throughout the PGA TOUR Season to accumulate enough FedExCup points to earn spots in the FedExCup Playoffs, then battle for golf's richest prize during the four-week Playoffs.

Tiger Woods won the inaugural FedExCup and the $10 million top prize in 2007. He won for a second time in 2009. Others to hoist the FedExCup trophy include Vijay Singh (2008), Jim Furyk (2010), Bill Haas (2011), Brandt Snedeker (2012), Henrik Stenson (2013) and Billy Horschel (2014).

For more information on the FedExCup competition, click here.

How do FedExCup points work?
The 2014-15 PGA TOUR Season consists of 43 events in 39 weeks, from the beginning of October at the Frys.com Open in California, through mid-August at the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, N.C. The FedExCup standings from the PGA TOUR Season carry over into the four-event FedExCup Playoffs where the season's champion is crowned.

Points are awarded to all TOUR members who make the cut with an emphasis being placed on wins and top finishes. Points for champions are awarded at four levels:

• 500 points -- The most common level. Regular PGA TOUR Season events award 500 FedExCup points to the winner.
• 600 points -- The Masters Tournament, THE PLAYERS Championship, U.S. Open, Open Championship and the PGA Championship award 600 FedExCup points to the winner.
• 550 points -- The WGC-HSBC Champions, WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship, WGC-Cadillac Championship and WGC-Bridgestone Invitational award 550 points to the winner.
• 300 points -- Additional events (played the same week as other tournaments) award 300 FedExCup points to the winner. This season's events are the Sanderson Farms Championship, Puerto Rico Open, Barbasol Championship and Barracuda Championship.

The FedExCup standings during the PGA TOUR Season determine the top 125 players who qualify for the first event, The Barclays. Each playoff event offers 2,000 points (four times the total of a regular PGA TOUR Season event).

For more on PGA TOUR Season point distribution, click here.

What are the FedExCup Playoffs?
The FedExCup Playoffs consist of four events immediately following the PGA TOUR Season -- The Barclays, Deutsche Bank Championship, BMW Championship and the TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola. The FedExCup standings from the PGA TOUR Season determine the top 125 players who qualify for the first event, The Barclays. Each playoff event offers 2,500 points to the winner (quintuple the PGA TOUR Season). The second event, the Deutsche Bank Championship outside Boston, will have a 100-player field. The third tournament, the BMW Championship, will have 70 players (with no cut). The finale, the TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola in Atlanta, will be comprised of the top-30 qualifiers following the BMW Championship.

Following a points reset, those players will compete for the FedExCup, with one to be crowned the FedExCup champion. Each tournament will have an $8-million purse in addition to the $35-million FedExCup bonus pool. To find out more, please visit the FedExCup website.

How do players qualify for the FedExCup Playoffs?
At the end of the season, the top 125 players in points plus ties will be eligible to play in the FedExCup Playoffs. There are no alternate positions. If a player chooses to not play in any of the four playoff events the next player in line (e.g. No.126) will not receive his spot.

How many players advance to the FedExCup Playoffs?
The FedExCup Playoffs offer a progressive cut, with each succeeding event having a smaller field.

The top 125 players from the PGA TOUR Season earn their way into The Barclays, the first event of the FedExCup Playoffs. Following The Barclays, the top 100 in the FedExCup standings earn a spot in the Deutsche Bank Championship.

From there, the top 70 players participate in the BMW Championship with only the top 30 players in the standings earning a position at the final event, the TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola.

Can players be tied in the FedExCup standings?
In the FedExCup Points system, points are awarded to and accumulated by players to three decimal positions, though in some areas we only list whole numbers. Players would be tied after the early portion of the season only in very rare cases, but in the event that there were a tie for a spot in the next Playoff event's field, both players would advance to the following event.

In the much more likely event of a tie in the standings at the TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola, the event's playoff format would be followed to break the tie and crown the FedExCup Champion.

How are points awarded for the FedExCup?
Official PGA TOUR events each award 500 FedExCup points to first place. The Masters Tournament, THE PLAYERS Championship, U.S. Open Championship, British Open and the PGA Championship award 600 FedExCup points to first place. World Golf Championship events award 550 FedExCup points to first place, and additional events played during the FedExCup Season (those played the same week as a major or World Golf Championships) award 300 FedExCup points to first place. Click here to see the full FedExCup standings.

How are the Points reset before the TOUR Championship?
Prior to the FedExCup finale, the TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola, FedExCup points are reset which ensures that the champion will be determined at the final event. Visit our website where you can see the complete Points reset chart.

How is a tie resolved in the FedExCup standings?

What happened to Q-school?
With the Web.com Tour becoming the path to the PGA TOUR, Q-School is now the way to become a player on the Web.com Tour.

For more information, please click here. 

Why did Q-school change?
The Web.com Tour in its 20+ years of existence has proven itself as the path to the PGA TOUR. In 2013, a change was made so that all 50 PGA TOUR cards are now awarded through the Web.com Tour and Q-School now provides access to the Web.com Tour.

The change was made due to a variety of factors, but the overwhelming success of Web.com Tour graduates over 20+ years on the PGA TOUR was the primary motivation for the change.

How are player groupings decided?
Each week, groupings are made according to procedures outlined in the PGA TOUR's Tournament Regulations. For example, players are grouped into different categories depending on prior accomplishments. Also, to ensure fairness, players cannot play early Thursday and Late Friday (or vice versa) too many weeks in a row. In addition to these examples, there are many other rules which seek to ensure fairness of the groupings each week while addressing the needs of many different constituents.

How do I suggest groupings?
Groupings are done according to a detailed set of procedures outlined in the PGA TOUR's Tournament Regulations. Unfortunately, fans are unable to suggest groupings.

How do officials decide when to halt play due to weather?
The safety of everyone at a PGA TOUR event is a top-priority each week, and the weather is always a main focus for the PGA TOUR Officials who oversee the event.

The PGA TOUR employs an on-site meteorologist with state of the art monitoring equipment to assist Officials with weather forecasting and real-time decisions to stop play.

How do players qualify for an event?
Players gain access to an event through a variety of routes. For players who have earned their PGA TOUR card through past achievements or from the Web.com Tour, there is a priority ranking used for each tournament which orders players in terms of accessing the tournament based on the field size. In addition to this ranking, most tournaments have a small number of sponsor exemptions and open qualifying spots which are available each week.

How do you qualify for the PGA TOUR?
The Web.com Tour is the path to the PGA TOUR. The top 50 players each year gain access to the following season's PGA TOUR membership. In addition to the Web.com Tour, it is possible to gain access to events by open qualifying, sponsor exemptions and by playing well enough to become a PGA TOUR member during the course of the season.

How long do weather delays last?
Weather delays on the PGA TOUR can last from a few minutes to several hours, depending on the situation. On rare occasions, delays have lasted over a number of days.

How much does the winner of (tournament) win?
The winner receives 18 percent of the purse. For an event with a purse of $5.0M, this equates to $900,000.

What happens if lightning is seen at an event?
PGA TOUR Officials are constantly monitoring the weather with an on-site meteorologist and state of the art technology. In the event that lightning is detected at a distance from the course that threatens the safety of the individuals at the event, play is immediately suspended and the course is evacuated for safety precautions.

When can play resume after a weather delay?
Generally, play is resumed as quickly as possible following a delay. However, it varies depending on the time it takes to prepare the course for play after a weather event and the time players need to warm-up to resume play.

What is the PGA TOUR's slow play policy?
The PGA TOUR has a Pace of Play Policy which is implemented and managed by the TOUR Rules Officials onsite each week. The policy is designed to keep play moving at a good pace, and includes fines and penalties in the event that a group does not keep pace. In such an instance, players in the group are timed by an official and have a set amount of time to play each stroke until they regain their position on the course.

How are PGA TOUR fields filled?
Each PGA TOUR member is an independent contractor and therefore sets his own individual schedule of events. The final field for all PGA TOUR events is not finalized until 5 p.m. ET on the Friday prior to the tournament week. Since each TOUR Player has a priority ranking for their exemption status, some TOUR Players do not know their full schedule until shortly before the tournament. Some TOUR Players who are exempt for each event will announce their schedule several weeks in advance and this information is usually posted on their personal websites. Each weekend prior to an event, PGATOUR.COM will release the Full Field and "Inside the Field."

How can I Monday Qualify for a PGA TOUR event?
For most open events on the PGA TOUR, there are normally 4 Monday Qualifying positions available through a series of qualifying events. The PGA TOUR does not operate these qualifiers.

Ian Baker-Finch, Gary McCord, David Feherty, Peter Kostis, Peter Oosterhuis, Bill Macatee and Verne Lunquist round out the on-air golf team. Lance Barrow is CBS Sports' coordinating producer for golf.

What is the relationship between the PGA TOUR and Golf Channel?
The PGA TOUR has an exclusive cable partnership with Golf Channel that began in 2007. Golf Channel provides early round coverage of all FedExCup events and full coverage of the Hyundai Tournament of Champions, Sony Open in Hawaii and the Humana Challenge, as well as all additional events that are scheduled the same week as the World Golf Championships and Open Championship. Golf Channel also televises all four rounds of the events that kick off the PGA TOUR season following the TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola. Golf Channel's coverage of the PGA TOUR includes prime-time, same-day replays, as well as extensive pre-round and post-round news coverage and analysis within "Golf Central," the network's flagship show.

If you would like to contact Golf Channel, please visit their website for contact information.

Why is there a 30-minute gap between Golf Channel and CBS coverage?
Due to the changeover from Golf Channel to CBS, there are several elements of the production that need to be changed prior to CBS beginning their coverage. For example, CBS uses different announcers and different graphics which need to be loaded into the graphics machines and made sure that they are working properly prior to CBS starting their telecast.

"Together, Anything's Possible" is the PGA TOUR's initiative to build a community of tournaments, players, charities, sponsors, partners, volunteers and fans who are committed to making a social investment by helping others. Between the PGA TOUR, Champions Tour and Web.com Tour, millions of dollars are contributed to local charities each year. The majority of the funds raised are directed back into the local community where the tournament is held. This means that there isn’t one specific beneficiary of the PGA TOUR. Instead there are nearly 3,000 charities and countless individuals worldwide who are touched by the TOUR’s goal of giving back. Learn more at our charity website.

How can I make a charity request of the PGA TOUR or players?
PGA TOUR charitable giving is almost always done on a local level by our tournaments on the PGA TOUR, Champions Tour and Web.com Tour, and not through PGA TOUR HQ.

The Tournament Players Division was renamed the PGA TOUR in 1975.

SHOTLINK

What is ShotLink?
The PGA TOUR's ShotLink scoring system provides all the play-by-play data for the PGATOUR.COM leaderboard, along with our stats database and on-course scoring information. More information about Shot Link can be found here or @ShotLink on Twitter.

Why are there inconsistencies with ShotLink?
The ShotLink system, which powers the live scoring and play-by-play on PGATOUR.COM, is operated by a small staff of PGA TOUR employees and a volunteer workforce each week. It normally takes approximately 350 volunteers per event to score the golf tournament. This equates to approximately three man years of effort (between staff and volunteers). The annual ShotLink volunteer count on the PGA TOUR is approximately 10,000 people throughout all of our events. This may explain why from time to time you see inaccuracies that are quickly corrected by the walking scorers and our Shot Link team members. More information about Shot Link can be found here.

Why are there no yardages / play-by-play for this event?
Major tournaments -- The Masters, U.S. Open, and Open Championship (British Open) -- are not owned or operated by the PGA TOUR. These events and their sanctioning bodies have their own technology deals and infrastructure, and do not use the PGA TOUR ShotLink scoring system which powers play-by-play on PGATOUR.COM. Therefore, unfortunately, play-by-play will not be available on PGATOUR.COM during the majors, though we wish we were able to offer it to fans every week on the PGA TOUR. There are also a handful of tournaments outside the United States where the ShotLink system cannot be transported in order to supply the data necessary for these features.
