How it works

• There are eight Signature Events in 2025, limited-field events featuring top players with increased prize money ($20 million) and FedExCup points (700 points to the winner).
• The Sentry is the season’s first Signature Event and includes PGA TOUR winners from the previous calendar year as well as the top 50 players from the 2024 FedExCup Points List through the TOUR Championship (i.e., those who qualify for the BMW Championship, the second FedExCup Playoffs event).
• The 2025 schedule cadence connects events through the Aon Next 10 and Aon Swing 5, two eligibility pathways that allow trending players to earn access to Signature Events and compete alongside the game’s best.
  • New in 2025, each Signature Event following The Sentry has a minimum field size of 72. If necessary, tournaments use an alternate list from the next available player(s) in the Aon Next 10 standings.
  • The three player-hosted Signature Events – The Genesis Invitational, Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard and the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday – feature a 36-hole cut to the top 50 and ties plus any player within 10 shots of the lead. The player-hosted Signature Events feature a redistribution of prize money that allocates 20 percent to the winner ($4 million).
  • The remaining five Signature Events do not have a cut and allocate 18 percent to the winner.
• Players qualify for Signature Events via the highest category for which they are eligible on the Priority Ranking, which can be found below.
