The PGA Tour Policy Board approved several changes to field sizes, eligibility and the FedExCup points system on Nov 18 that will be introduced over the next two years.
Perhaps the most notable change involves a reduction in fully exempt players on tour in a given season. Beginning in 2026, players who finished in the top 100 of the previous year's FedExCup standings will keep full status, down from the top 125 in 2024. Players who place from 101st to 125th would receive conditional status.
Only 20 PGA Tour cards will be awarded to Korn Ferry Tour graduates rather than 30, among other minor changes to membership policies.
"It was important to redefine PGA Tour membership as we build on the aspirational nature of earning a PGA Tour card," PGA Tour chief competitions officer Tyler Dennis said in a statement.
"Once on tour, members will have an equitable opportunity to retain their membership and qualify for the FedExCup Play-offs. For our fans, this added competitive drama will in turn create stronger fields and leaderboards throughout the season."
