The PGA Tour announced its schedule for the FedExCup Fall 2025 this Tuesday, a seven-event autumn agenda that finalises eligibility for the next season (the top 100 finishers, following the rule change, will have full cards for 2026). The schedule will kick off from 11 to 14 September with the Procore Championship, the first tournament after the FedEx Cup Playoffs in August, at the Silverado Resort in Napa, California.
After a two-week break during which the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, New York, will take place, the autumn schedule of the American tour will resume with the Sanderson Farms Championship, from 1 to 5 October, at the Country Club of Jackson in Jackson, Mississippi. “The upcoming changes in eligibility increase the drama and excitement for fans, with more at stake for players than ever,” said Tyler Dennis, Chief Competitions Officer of the PGA Tour.
“With events in four US states, Japan, Mexico, and Bermuda, the conclusion of the 2025 golf schedule promises to be exciting for our fans worldwide, while providing a lasting impact on the communities where we play,” it states in the note confirming the tournaments, dates, and venues for this final stretch of the next season, where only the top 70 after the Atlanta finale in the FedEx will have their place secured for the following year.
As announced last week, the annual PGA Tour event in Japan changes venue and sponsor. With the multi-year agreement of the tour with the global consulting company Baycurrent Inc, the newly named Baycurrent Classic, from 9 to 12 October, will be held for the first time at the Yokohama Country Club, located in Yokohama, Japan. One of Japan’s premier golf courses, the Yokohama Country Club was designed in 1960 by Takeo Aiyama and remodelled in 2016 by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw.
The Black Desert Championship, from 23 to 26 October, remains in southern Utah, at the Black Desert Resort, following the tour’s return to Utah in over 60 years in 2024. Later, it will be the turn of Los Cabos, in Mexico, with the World Wide Technology Championship, from 6 to 9 November at El Cardonal at Diamante, a golf course designed by Tiger Woods, and the Butterfield Bermuda Championship, from 13 to 16 November at the Port Royal Golf Course in Southampton, Bermuda.
The FedEx Cup Fall will conclude with the traditional RSM Classic, from 20 to 23 November at the Sea Island Golf Club in St. Simons Island, Georgia, where the final standings will be closed, and it will be known which 100 players retain full playing rights through the tour’s general classification for 2026. Those finishing between 101st and 125th will have conditional status. Winners of tournaments in this autumn tour will receive two years of exemption, 500 FedEx points, access to The Sentry, and eligibility for the majors that typically invite PGA Tour champions.
Five of the seven winners of the FedExCup Fall 2023 managed to qualify for the FedEx Cup Playoffs in 2024 – Sahith Theegala, Tom Kim, Collin Morikawa, Erik van Rooyen, and Ludvig Åberg – while seven players in 2024 were within the top 125 to secure their exempt status for the 2025 season after starting the FedExCup Fall outside these positions.
Players who qualify for the FedExCup 2025 Playoffs (top 70) are exempt for the 2026 season, and players advancing to the BMW Championship (top 50) are also exempt for all designated events in 2026. Players ranked 51st and beyond will carry their FedExCup points from the regular season and the first playoff event into the FedExCup Fall and will continue accumulating to finalise the FedExCup Fall standings and determine eligibility for the 2026 season. As part of the Aon Next 10, players ranked 51st to 60th after the autumn tour will have a place in the first two designated events of 2026, the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and the Genesis Invitational.
Following this FedEx Cup Fall, as usual, three non-point tournaments will close the competitive year on the PGA Tour: the Hero World Challenge hosted by Tiger Woods (4 to 7 December); the Grant Thornton Invitational co-sanctioned by the PGA Tour and the LPGA (12 to 14 December) and the PNC Championship for parents and children (19 to 21 December). An intense tournament schedule from which the traditional Shriners in Las Vegas is dropped.
