THE US PGA Tour is expanding its Player Equity Programme to reward current performance, adding the top 50 in the FedEx Cup this year to those receiving recurring grants from a first-of-its-kind programme that has topped US$1bil in equity for more than 200 players.

Brian Rolapp, the chief investment officer of PGA Tour Enterprises, laid out the expansion in a memo to players on Thursday, according to the Associated Press – a week before the late start to the 2026 season.
