The PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup Playoffs crown the season’s ultimate champion.
Since 2007, 14 players have won the FedEx Cup, with Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy being multiple-time champions. Woods took home titles in 2007 and 2009, while McIlroy triumphed in 2016, 2019, and 2022.
In 2024, golfers competed in 36 events for points and prize money to dethrone Viktor Hovland.
Regular tournaments awarded winners with 500 points. Signature Events gave out 700 points, except The Players which offered 750. Winners of other events earned an extra 300 points. Everyone making the cut got both points and a paycheck.
