Players earn points in each event they play. For all regular-season PGA Tour events, 500 FedEx Cup points are awarded to the winner, with points also being earned by every player making the cut. In "signature events", 700 FedEx Cup points go to the winner, while 750 points are given to the champion of the four majors and the Players.
