TWG FDX Cup Playoffs
FDX Cup Standings
The TWG FDX Cup is positioned to be the 5th major of the year for our players on the TWG Tour. We will begin a playoff series immediately after the last regular major of the year, the PGA Championship.
The FDX Cup point system is shown below. Here is how the formula is derived. The last place person in any given event is given 5 points for playing. You continue to add 5 points to each person placing higher than the last until you get to the middle of the field. The upper half of the field takes the number that was last given and begins to add 10 points to each person until you reach first place. This helps weight the point system to the field that you are playing against. Obviously a larger field distributes more points among all the players. The advantage to this system is if you pay your extra entry in any given tournament, you will be automatically receiving a minimum of 5 points to your running total.
At the end of 10 regularly scheduled events that will begin immediately after the PGA Championship, we will begin the Tournament Championship. The point totals in the Championship are worth DOUBLE. The Tour Championship will be a regularly played 2 day Major.
Main Rules of the FDX Cup Playoffs
- A player must declare to the tournament director that he/she is paying the additional money to accumulate FDX points prior to teeing off in any eligible event.
- A player is not required to pay/play in any FDX cup events, to be eligible for the FDX Cup playoff event. However point totals may fall short to finish in the money if no points are accumulated in any of the 10 regular events prior to the Championship.
- The FDX Cup POT is solely based on entry's into the event. So the more people that pay the small entry fee in each of the qualifying events, the larger the pot will be for the championship. For example if during each of the 10 events, we had 8 players pay the additional $2 and during the playoffs there were 12 players that entered the FDX cup total pot value would be over $200.
