In addition to the cash prize, the winner receives a custom trophy from Tiffany & Co. and full exemption on the PGA Tour through the 2030 season. This is a significant increase from the typical two-year exemption.

They will earn 750 FedEx Cup points, compared to the usual 500 points awarded at other events.
