What season-long PGA Tour points competition began in 2007?

The season-long PGA Tour points competition that began in 2007 is the FedEx Cup.

The FedEx Cup was introduced as the PGA Tour’s championship trophy and created a season-long race based on players’ finishes in tour-sanctioned events. The leading point scorers qualify for the FedEx Cup Playoffs, which culminate in the Tour Championship.

Its launch marked the first playoff system in men’s professional golf. The format has changed several times: the original playoffs included four events, while the modern structure uses three. Points are awarded throughout the regular season, with playoff fields and scoring rules periodically adjusted to keep the race competitive.

The FedEx Cup is not the same as the World Golf Championships, the Presidents Cup, or the European Tour’s Race to Dubai. Those are separate competitions or event series. Tiger Woods won the inaugural Cup in 2007, while Rory McIlroy has collected the most titles.
