The PGA Tour has released its 2024 FedExCup regular season and FedExCup Playoffs schedule, as the Tour returns to a calendar-year format for the first time since 2012.
The 2024 FedExCup regular season, consisting of 36 events, begins in January with the “Opening Drive” at The Sentry and Sony Open in Hawaii – where all players start with zero FedExCup points.
The Wyndham Championship again serves as the culmination of the regular season, with only 70 players advancing to the FedExCup Playoffs. The regular season schedule includes the 50th playing of The Players Championship and the four major championships, eight signature events, 18 full-field events and five additional events.
“We are excited about the roll-out of the PGA Tour’s reimagined schedule and what the season will offer to our fans: a January start with stars competing head-to-head more often, alongside the weekly drama of life-altering moments and the emergence of new stars,” said PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan. “While winning on the PGA Tour continues to be the ultimate – and most difficult – challenge, we have further connected every tournament, with more at stake each week.
“From The Sentry through the FedExCup Playoffs and into the soon-to-be-announced FedExCup Fall, this new cadence will create consistent excitement for our fans and reward players like never before.”

The Genesis Invitational, Arnold Palmer Invitational and the Memorial Tournament will feature a 36-hole cut to the top 50 and ties and any player within 10 shots of the lead. The remaining five Signature Events will not have a cut and will continue to allocate 18 percent to the winner.
The regular season and playoffs will include events in the United States (33), Mexico, Scotland (2), Canada, the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. One event that does not have a title sponsor as of yet is The Classic in the Palm Beaches from February 26 through March 3 at PGA National Resort.
