PRIZE MONEY ($2.1 million annuity to the top-five point earners at season's end)
POINTS SYSTEM: A points system will commence starting with the Dominion Energy Charity Classic. Each player’s current money total before the start of the Playoffs will become the equivalent number of points ($330,000 equals 330,000 points). Double points will be earned by each player competing in all three Playoffs events, including the Charles Schwab Cup Championship.
