The PGA TOUR is the premier professional golf tour in the United States and North America, hosting major golf tournaments.

PGA TOUR event prize money is distributed as follows:
- Winner: Typically receives 18% of the total purse (e.g., $1.44M for an $8M purse).
- 2nd Place: Approx. 10.9% (e.g., $872K).
- 3rd Place: Approx. 6.9% (e.g., $552K).
- Distribution: All players making the cut receive a share, with amounts decreasing by rank.
- Minimum Prize: The lowest-ranked player making the cut earns approx. 0.2% (e.g., $16K).
Regular PGA TOUR events offer purses of $7M–$9M, Signature Events exceed $20M, and majors are $15M or more.
The cut is used in most PGA TOUR events to narrow the field for the final rounds:
- Standard Cut Rule: The top 65 players and ties advance to the weekend rounds (changed from top 70 in 2019).
- Cut Timing: Determined after 36 holes (first two rounds).
- No-Cut Events: Signature Events, TOUR Championship, and limited-field events have no cut.
- Secondary Cut: Rarely, if too many players make the cut, a secondary cut (MDF – Made Cut, Did Not Finish) may occur after round 3.
- Amateurs: Amateurs can make the cut but are ineligible for prize money.
Players missing the cut receive no prize money or FedExCup points and do not play the final rounds.
The FedExCup is a season-long championship culminating in the playoffs:
- Regular Events: Winner earns 500 points, with points decreasing by rank.
- Signature Events: Winner earns 700 points.
- Major Championships: Winner earns 600 points.
- The Players Championship: Winner earns 600 points.
- Playoffs: FedExCup playoff events award increased points (e.g., playoff event winners earn 2000 points).
- TOUR Championship: The final event uses a stroke-based system, with the FedExCup leader starting at -10.
The FedExCup winner earns a significant bonus (e.g., $18M from a $75M pool) and a 5-year PGA TOUR exemption. Top final FedExCup rankings secure tour cards.
Most PGA TOUR events follow a standard format:
- Duration: 4 rounds (72 holes) of stroke play, typically Thursday to Sunday.
- Field Size: Usually 132–156 players.
- Par: Most courses are par 70–72.
- Pro-Am: Many tournaments include a Wednesday Pro-Am event with professionals and amateurs.
- Special Formats: Some tournaments have unique formats:
- Zurich Classic (team play)
- WGC-Dell Match Play (match play format – *Note: format/events may change annually*)
- The Genesis Invitational (120-player limited field)
The player with the lowest total score after all rounds wins. In case of a tie after 72 holes, a sudden-death playoff typically determines the winner.
