Web.com Tour moving to FedExCup-style points system in 2019 | Golf Channel

The PGA Tour policy board approved a provision that will transform how success is measured on the Web.com Tour.

According to a memo sent this week to members, a points-based system – as opposed to prize money – to determine eligibility was widely supported in a player survey in 2017.

Like the FedExCup format on the PGA Tour, points will be awarded based on a player’s finish, with 500 points going to the winner of regular-season events. The winner of the final regular-season event (WinCo Portland Open) will be awarded 600 points and the circuit’s three Finals events will award 1,000 points to the winner.

Makes sense to me.

I'm surprised they haven't done this soon.   Good idea.
