Changes for 2024

When the 2024 PGA Tour schedule was announced in August 2023, there were many changes from previous seasons, including: ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}

• Return to a calendar-based schedule, starting in January.
• "Designated events" were rebranded as "signature events", with smaller fields and several changes in format and eligibility.
  • The top 50 in the previous seasons FedEx Cup standings are eligible for all signature events, along with leading players during the season to date and in recent tournaments, tournament winners, PGA Tour members in the top 30 of the Official World Golf Ranking, and sponsors exemptions. Leading players in the previous season's fall events are eligible for the first two signature events.
  • Unlike 2022–23, there is no requirement for the leading players to play in signature events.
  • The AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am replaced the WM Phoenix Open as a signature event, with a reduced field of 80 professionals, and amateurs only competing on the first two days.
  • The only signature events to retain a 36-hole cut were the Genesis Invitational, the Arnold Palmer Invitational and the Memorial Tournament.
  • FedEx Cup points for signature events were increased to 700 for the winner (from 550 and 500 in 2022–23).
• The prize pool for the Comcast Business Tour Top 10 (leading regular-season FedEx Cup point earners) was doubled to $40 million.
• The prize for winning the FedEx Cup was increased to $25 million (from $18 million).
• The conditional category is reshuffled with the past champion and veteran member categories, rather than being reshuffled on its own.
