Postseason Drama and the Drive for the FedExCup
The 2026 PGA Tour calendar introduced refined field sizes and elevated incentives designed to pit the world’s top players against each other more frequently. Following intense action at the Masters, PGA Championship, U.S. Open, and The Open Championship earlier this summer, the focus turns entirely to the FedExCup points standings.
Only the top 70 players in the standings earn entry into the FedEx St. Jude Championship, making late-season bubble play fiercer than ever. From there, the field narrows down rapidly:
- Top 70: Qualify for the FedEx St. Jude Championship and secure fully exempt status for 2027.
- Top 50: Advance to the BMW Championship and lock in entry into all 2027 Signature Events.
- Top 30: Battle at East Lake in the TOUR Championship using the staggered FedExCup Starting Strokes format to crown the season champion.
Broadcast Networks, Streaming Options, and Fan Access
Golf fans seeking live coverage of the 2026 postseason can access multi-platform viewing options across traditional television networks and streaming services. Network coverage remains anchored by key broadcast partners, offering continuous coverage from early Thursday morning rounds through Sunday final-round coverage.
- Linear Television: Early-round coverage airs on Golf Channel, with weekend afternoon broadcasts shifting to CBS Sports and NBC Sports.
- Digital Streaming: PGA Tour Live on ESPN+ provides comprehensive direct-to-consumer coverage, including main feed streams, featured groups, and marquee hole tracking.
- International Viewing: Sky Sports and regional rights holders deliver localized feeds to global audiences in over 200 territories.
Purse allocations remain at record highs. Outside of the major championships, regular-season Signature Events carried $20 million purses, while the TOUR Championship awards the ultimate FedExCup bonus payout to the top performer in Atlanta.

The 2026 Fall Swing and International Team Battle
Once the FedExCup champion is crowned at East Lake, the 2026 PGA Tour schedule transitions into the Fall Swing and international team competition. The autumn landscape provides crucial playing opportunities for golfers seeking to secure or upgrade their tour cards for the following year.
Highlighting the fall calendar is the 2026 Presidents Cup at Medinah Country Club in Illinois. U.S. Team Captains and International Squad Leaders will assemble their 12-man rosters following the playoff conclusion, setting up one of the most anticipated team match-play events of the decade.
Following the Presidents Cup, the Fall Swing continues with stops across North America and Asia, offering full FedExCup points and direct qualification paths into early 2027 events.
