Golf Digest Middle East — Mon, 08 May 2023 12:16:12 +0000

The race for the 2023 FedEx Cup title has made the turn as the tour heads into majors season. The season-long FedEx Cup points standings will largely determine who keeps their PGA Tour cards, who’ll be eligible for the FedEx Cup Playoffs come August and who will have invites to the PGA Tour’s designated events in 2024.

The 2022-23 season includes 44 regular-season events before the start of the three-event playoff series that ends at the Tour Championship Aug. 24-27. For all regular-season PGA Tour events, 500 FedEx Cups are awarded to the winner, with points also being earned by every player making the cut. In World Golf Championship and other “designated” events, 550 FedEx Cup points goes to the winner, while 600 points are given to the champion of the four majors and the Players. Lastly, 300 points are given to the winner of any event played in the same week as a major or “designated” event.

Here is the updated top 70 FedEx Cup points list through the Wells Fargo Championship. All players inside the top 70 at the end of the regular season earn their PGA Tour cards for the 2024 season and get into the playoffs. The top 50 players after the first Playoff event, the FedEx St Jude Championship in Memphis at TPC Southwind, advance to the second event, the BMW Championship outside Chicago at Olympia Fields. Those players also qualify for the majority of the PGA Tour’s designated events for 2024. The top 30 after the BMW advance to the Tour Championship at East Lake in Atlanta where they compete for the FedEx Cup title and $75 million overall purse, with $18 million going to the eventual winner.

Following the core FedEx Cup season, official PGA Tour events will be conducted in the fall, where all players with status for the 2022-23 FedEx Cup season will be eligible to compete. Those outside of the top-70 will compete for FedEx Cup points to secure playing status for 2024.

Kevin Sutherland wins Charles Schwab Cup Championship and, controversially, Charles Schwab Cup

Golf Digest Middle East — Wed, 15 Nov 2017 04:40:22 +0000

By John Strege

Bernhard Langer’s hold on the Charles Schwab Cup was never tenuous, at least until he tripped on the final lap and caused the PGA Tour Champions to stumble as well.

This is not to shortchange the man who beat him, Kevin Sutherland. By virtue of his victory in the Charles Schwab Cup Championship on Sunday and the system the tour has in place for the season-long points competition, Sutherland not only won the tournament, but the Charles Schwab Cup and its $1 million bonus, as well.

But here’s the rub. It was Sutherland’s only victory of the year, indeed his only PGA Tour Champions win in four years, while Langer won seven times this year, with two of the seven coming in the three-tournament Schwab Cup playoffs.

Two more points to consider. Langer, 60, would have won his fourth straight Schwab Cup had he reordered his victories in the playoff events. He won the wrong two. And with Langer’s tie for 12th despite closing with a seven-under par 64 at Phoenix Country Club on Sunday, Sutherland could have won the Schwab Cup even had he finished second or third in the tournament on Sunday and gone winless for the season.

“I think it needs adjusting,” Langer said of a system that includes resetting Schwab Cup points after each of the first two playoff events. “I do, personally, because you could have somebody win the whole thing that hasn’t won a tournament all year and I’m not sure that’s ideal. But I was on the [PGA Tour Champions policy] board. We said we’re going to try this out. I’m not sure if it’s perfect. It’s maybe like the FedExCup. They had to adjust it two or three times to make it interesting but also make it a little fair.

“It was never meant to be fair. It was meant to be playoffs. Everybody in the field was given a chance to win. Is it fair? No, it’s not, but that’s how it is right now.”

The crowds acknowledged Langer’s hugely successful 2017 season as he approached the 18th green in the season finale. (Chris Condon/Getty Images)

So be it. The rules were the rules and Sutherland won according to them.
