This renowned competition is important not just because of the cash reward but also because other important benefits are up for grabs. Earned dollars are converted into Charles Schwab Cup regular season points, which determine the players’ eligibility for the lucrative postseason.
This event is critical for players’ placement since the top five players in the final Charles Schwab Cup standings will split a bonus pool of $2.1 million, paid as annuities. However, since the PGA Tour Champions does not award world ranking points, the tournament will not provide any OWGR rankings.
