In 2007, the PGA TOUR enters a new era in golf with an exciting season-long points competition called the FedEx Cup. This competition, spanning 37 weeks, will dramatically change the PGA TOUR, offering fans a new competitive element while giving the sport a more defined "season."

The PGA TOUR season will now be divided into two parts:

• FedEx Cup
PGA TOUR Regular Season (33 weeks)
PGA TOUR Playoffs for the FedEx Cup (4 weeks)

• PGA TOUR Fall Series

PGA TOUR Regular Season
The Regular Season will consist of 36 events in 33 weeks from the beginning of January to the middle of August. Players will accumulate FedEx Cup points which will determine their seeding for the PGA TOUR Playoffs for the FedEx Cup.

PGA TOUR Playoffs for the FedEx Cup
The Playoffs will consist of four events between late-August and mid-September. These four events will determine the winner of the FedEx Cup. In addition, the top 30 finishers will be guaranteed exemption for the following year.

PGA TOUR Fall Series
Between late September and early November, a Fall Series of seven tournaments will be conducted to finalize the following year's eligibility for players who do not finish in the top 30 of the FedEx Cup. Players will vie for positions 31-125, based on final season earnings.

PGA TOUR Regular Season FedEx Cup Points
Official PGA TOUR events played during the Regular Season will award 25,000 FedEx Cup points. More points will be allotted to certain events:

• The Masters, THE PLAYERS Championship, U.S. Open, British Open and PGA Championship will award 27,500 FedEx Cup points.

• World Golf Championships events will award 26,250 FedEx Cup points.
