ATLANTA -- The PGA Tour, along with FedEx and Wyndham is changing the scheme for its year-long points race and playoff format next season.
Also, significantly more money will be put into its year-long points race and playoff format, with the winner to receive a $15-million bonus starting next season.
PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan announced the changes Tuesday at East Lake Golf Club, where the season-ending Tour Championship will be played this week..
Players who reach the 30-player field in Atlanta will be staggered based on a strokes-based bonus system that will see the leader in points start at 10 under par, with levels decreasing down to the 30th player, who will start at even par.
