What else is on the line
Beyond money, there are important points, perks and benefits on the line for the field -- in particular, the tournament winner.
The winner of this event does not get FedEx Cup Fall points, as had been the practice for all fall events in 2025.
Additionally, there are 31 Official World Golf Ranking points on the line for the winner.
This event does not offer significant improvements to PGA Tour status or any gateway into major championships. The money and the OWGR points are the payoffs.
