Changes from 2022

The top 70 players on the FedEx Cup regular-season standings qualified for the first playoff event, down from 125; the field of the second event was reduced from 70 to 50.^[1] With the PGA Tour reverting to a calendar-based schedule, the Playoffs no longer form the conclusion to the PGA Tour season, but all 70 qualifiers earned an exemption for the 2024 season regardless of results in the fall.^[2] The 50 qualifiers for the BMW Championship earned entry into limited-field signature events in 2024.^[3]

Regular-season rankings

The leading 10 players in the FedEx Cup regular-season standings qualified for a share of the $20 million Comcast Business Tour top 10 bonus.
