The PGA Tour's FedEx Fall is back, and once again there are seven events on the slate. But there are some significant differences for the competitors this time around and the biggest change is the loss of a Masters invite for Fall winners.

What's not new was a little time off between the end of the Tour Championship and the first Fall tournament. Nor the Ryder Cup break, which is now officially in the rearview mirror.

There has been one Fall series event played already. Now there's six more over the next eight weeks with three of them held outside the U.S.

What are the FedEx Fall tournaments for the PGA Tour?

No more Masters invites for Fall PGA Tour winners

The fall events will allow for opportunities for those golfers looking to secure playing privileges. According to the PGA Tour:

FedExCup Fall consists of eight official PGA Tour events which will provide players an opportunity to lock up or improve their positions in priority ranking and secure additional playing opportunities for the 2026 FedEx Cup Season, which begins at The Sentry in January.

Furthermore, points can only be earned by players ranked 51st or lower.

But, the Masters Tournament has announced it will no longer issue invitations to winners of the PGA Tour's FedEx Fall Series as part of a joint venture with the Royal and Ancient Golf Club to expand eligibility to winners of selected national opens

So the Sanderson Farms winner still gets a trophy, a big paycheck and FedEx Cup points but he will have to find another path to Augusta National, if he's not already qualified.
