      2024 Race for the FedExCup | How It Works

      Written by Staff

      The PGA TOUR heads back to Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina, for the Wyndham Championship. Last year's edition saw Lucas Glover win his first of back-to-back PGA TOUR events, with the FedExCup Regular Season finale providing plenty of drama as players battle to make the Playoffs.

      The PGA TOUR uses a standardized system for determining event fields based on the current season’s Priority Ranking while also including additional exemption and qualifying categories.

      Field sizes can vary by event, as can the number of event-specific exemptions. Fully exempt PGA TOUR members are guaranteed entry into all full-field events, with various conditional categories subject to periodic reshuffles based upon FedExCup Points accrued throughout the season. Categories with "reshuffle" notation indicate that a reshuffle period has occurred.

      Note: An additional year of eligibility was granted to some categories because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

      Scroll below to see the field list and updates.
