The FedEx Cup is the trophy awarded to the winner of the PGA’s year-end, four-tournament playoff. The playoff system was instituted for the 2007 season. The playoff series and the trophy bear the name of the event’s primary sponsor, although each of the four tournaments has separate, individual sponsors. Players qualify for the playoff by accruing FedEx Cup points throughout the season. The top 150 point leaders qualify for the first tournament,

and that is narrowed to 100 for the second event, 70 for the third, and just 30 for the final event, the Tour Championship tournament.
