The PGA Tour is entering its 109th season in the 2024 season. It's also the FedEx Cup's 18th season and the 56th season since splitting from the PGA of America.
The 2024 PGA Tour schedule was revealed in August 2023, and it had a few changes in contrast to the earlier seasons, like the return to a calendar-based schedule that began in January 2024, the rebranding of "designated events" as "signature events," which had smaller fields, and various other format and eligibility adjustments.
All signature events are open to the top 50 finishers in the FedEx Cup from the previous season, as well as top players from the current season and recent events, winners of tournaments, players from the PGA Tour ranked in the top 30 of the Official World Golf Ranking and sponsor exemptions.
The top players are not required to participate in signature events, in contrast to 2022–2023. Also, the Memorial Tournament, the Arnold Palmer Invitational, and the Genesis Invitational were the only three prestigious events to continue using a 36-hole cut.
FedEx Cup points for signature events were raised from 550 and 500 in 2022–2023 to 700 for the champion. For the top 10 regular-season FedEx Cup point scorers on the Comcast Business Tour, the prize fund was increased to $40 million; moreover, FedEx Cup winners now receive $25 million in prize money, up from $18 million previously.
The PGA Golfers in 2023-24 season
The only players who keep their PGA Tour cards are those who place within the top 125 in FedEx Cup fall points. Rankings on the money list don’t matter. Conditional PGA Tour status for the 2024 season is awarded to the players who place 126th through 150th in the rankings. Naturally, golfers who achieve higher status through victories in events sanctioned by the PGA Tour maintain their status.
The players who placed 51st through 60th in the final rankings—the top 10 players who missed out on the BMW Championship—were awarded entries for the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and the Genesis Invitational.
Ben Griffin, Taylor Montgomery, Mackenzie Hughes, Beau Hossler, Ludvig Åberg, Matt Kuchar, Nick Hardy, J.J. Spaun, Sam Ryder, and Luke List are those players; and those who are not members but would have gained enough FedEx Cup points to make the playoffs are also eligible to return the following season.
