History

Historical Context

In 2007 the PGA Tour launched the FedEx Cup, creating a season-long points race and a multi-million-dollar bonus pool. After the pool grew to $100 million in 2025 and the Tour Championship switched to a single-score format, players like Brooks Koepka returned to the Tour in 2025, a move praised by Scottie Scheffler and seen as pressure on LIV Golf’s reported $200 million financing gap.
