Rickie Fowler gets putter working for birdie at Rocket Classic
Written by Staff, PGATOUR.COM
The PGA TOUR heads to TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Illinois, for the John Deere Classic, one of the final stops for players to finalize their status and eligibility before the start of the FedExCup Playoffs.
The PGA TOUR uses a standardized system for determining event fields, based on the current season’s Priority Ranking while also including additional exemption and qualifying categories.
Field sizes can vary by event, as can the number of event-specific exemptions. Fully exempt PGA TOUR members are guaranteed entry into all Full-Field Events, with various conditional categories subject to periodic reshuffles based upon FedExCup Points accrued throughout the season. Categories with "reshuffle" notation indicate that a reshuffle period has occurred.
Note: An additional year of eligibility was granted to some categories because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
