Although the Tour did not have specifics, it said in the release that with the elimination of starting strokes, the FedEx Cup bonus distributions for the top 30 players "will be balanced for 2025 to account for the increased volatility, reward season-long performance and recognize the significance of the FedExCup."

The often-criticized “starting strokes” format is being dropped for a regular stroke-play format which gives all 30 players an equal shot to win the FedEx Cup.
