FedExCup Fall Season: Crucial Battles for 2026 PGA Tour Spots
The FedExCup Fall season is in full swing, bringing high-stakes competition and crucial implications for the 2026 PGA Tour season. Players ranked between 51 and 125 in the standings are battling it out for guaranteed spots in next year's Signature Events and The Players Championship.
The Fall season, following the Ryder Cup and consisting of seven tournaments, is a make-or-break period for many players. Those ranked 51 to 60 secure entry into two Signature Events, while those in the 51 to 70 range earn full PGA Tour status and a spot in The Players Championship. The top 50 players are already guaranteed full entry into the 2026 season.
Jordan Spieth, Wyndham Clark, and Tony Finau are among the big names fighting to secure their spots. Meanwhile, Joel Dahmen, Max Homa, Harry Higgs, and Alejandro Tosti are battling to retain their PGA Tour status. New rules this year mean players ranked 71 to 100 keep full status, and those between 101 and 125 have conditional status.
Victory in the FedExCup Fall brings valuable points, shapes a player's season schedule, and opens doors to major events. The Fall season is not just about winning; it's about securing a future on the PGA Tour. With the top 50 players already guaranteed full entry into the 2026 season, the pressure is on for those just outside this bracket to perform and secure their spots.
