<P> Once the 125 playoff qualifiers are set, no alternates are allowed . Any player among the final 125 (then 100, then 70) can skip a playoff event prior to the Tour Championship, but if he does, he risks his standing on the points list, which could result in being eliminated from the playoffs . </P> <P> For the Tour Championship, only the top 30 points leaders after the BMW Championship are eligible . If for any reason, a player among the top 30 does not compete in the Tour Championship, he will not be replaced . </P> <P> The player with the most points after the Tour Championship wins the FedExCup itself and $10 million of a $35 million bonus fund . The runner - up gets $3 million, 3rd place $2 million, 4th place $1.5 million, 5th place $1 million, and so on down to $32,000 for 126th through 150th place . Beginning with the 2013 season, non-exempt players who finish 126th - 150th in the FedExCup are given conditional PGA Tour status, but can attempt to improve their priority rankings through the Web.com Tour Finals . Previously, conditional status was earned through the money list . </P> <P> In 2007, the money was placed into their tax - deferred retirement accounts, not given in cash . Players under 45 are not able to access any 2007 FedExCup bonuses (as opposed to prize money earned in the tournaments themselves) until turning 45 . They can invest their bonus in any manner they choose, and once they turn 45, can choose to defer payment until they turn 60 or play in fewer than 15 PGA Tour events in a season . Once a player chooses to take payments from his fund, he will receive monthly checks for five years . </P>
