Regular point distribution

In events in which there are cuts, only golfers who make the cut for an event will receive points for that event. In case of a tie, point totals are added together and divided among all golfers tied for a particular position at the end of a tournament. For example, if four golfers finish tied for fifth place, the fifth through eighth place points are summed and divided by four, with each of the golfers receiving the same number of points. The points system for major championships, the Players, and the signature events (The Sentry, AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, Genesis Invitational, Arnold Palmer Invitational, RBC Heritage, Wells Fargo Championship, Memorial Tournament and Travelers Championship) were changed in advance of the 2024 season.

Playoff point distribution

Only golfers who make the cut for an event will receive points for that event.

Beginning in 2015, playoff tournaments carry four times the points of regular season tournaments, instead of five times, as was the case from 2009 to 2014. [2] In 2020, playoff tournaments only carried three times the points of regular season tournaments due to the season having fewer tournaments. [3]
