FedEx Cup
championship trophy for the PGA Tour
The FedEx Cup is the championship trophy for the PGA Tour. Its introduction in 2007 marked the first time that men's professional golf had a playoff system. Since its inception, the competition has been sponsored by FedEx.
The FedEx Cup is a season-long competition. Points are awarded based on finishing position in all PGA Tour–sanctioned tournaments. The leading points earners throughout the regular season qualify for the playoffs. Players are further eliminated after each of the first two playoff events, with the leading 30 points earners qualifying for the Tour Championship.
Scottie Scheffler is the current champion after he won his second career Tour Championship in 2026.
Rory McIlroy has the most titles with three. The only other players to win multiple FedEx Cups are Tiger Woods and Scottie Scheffler, both with two.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “FedEx Cup” is championship trophy for the PGA Tour. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through FedEx, championship and trophy, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “championship trophy for the PGA Tour” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 11, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1399835. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2007 and 2026.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
