Changes for 2014–15

• One new event was added (Barbasol Championship) and the Sanderson Farms Championship made a return.
• Winners of the Arnold Palmer Invitational and Memorial Tournament were for the first time given three-year exemptions and invitations to the next three Players Championships.
• For the first time, the conditional status category (126th to 150th in the FedEx Cup) was regularly reshuffled, like the Web.com Tour graduate and past champion categories.

The McGladrey Classic was moved up two weeks from 2014. The CIMB Classic and WGC-HSBC Champions have each been moved back one week from 2014. The Sanderson Farms Championship became an alternate event to the WGC-HSBC Champions, instead of being an alternate to The Open Championship as in years previous. The new Barbasol Championship was an alternate event to The Open Championship. It also marked the first time the PGA Tour hosted an event in Alabama in 25 years, when the state hosted the 1990 PGA Championship. The WGC-Cadillac Match Play was moved back two and a half months to May, and relocated back to California, its primary home from 1999 to 2006.^[1]
