As previously announced, the 2026 season will debut numerous enhancements, including new eligibility and field size adjustments that raise competitive stakes and address speed of play, key areas identified by the PGA TOUR’s Fan Forward initiative, the single-largest fan outreach in the organization’s history. Most notably, the top 100 in the FedExCup standings through the 2025 FedExCup Fall will secure exempt status for the 2026 PGA TOUR Season (previously 125), with Nos. 101-125 having conditional status. This change, as recommended by the TOUR’s Player Advisory Council, ensures the 35 most competitive players as identified by the Korn Ferry Tour, DP World Tour and PGA TOUR Q-School presented by Korn Ferry have equitable playing opportunities, showcasing their talent throughout the season.
