# 2021–22 PGA Tour

The 2021–22 PGA Tour was the 107th season of the PGA Tour, the main professional golf tour in the United States. It was also the 54th season since separating from the PGA of America, and the 16th edition of the FedEx Cup.

## Changes for 2021–22
### Prize fund

The Tour announced more than $100 million in purse increases for the 2021–22 season including:
* Increasing the FedEx Cup bonus pool (from $60 million to $75 million)
* Doubling the regular season bonus pool, known as the Comcast Business Tour Top 10 (from $10 million to $20 million)
* Increasing the Player Impact Program, which rewards players that drive fan engagement (from $40 million to $50 million)
* Introducing the Play15 Bonus program, which rewards every player who makes at least 15 starts with $50,000
* Significant increases in the purses of limited-field events including increasing the Players Championship purse to $20 million

## Response to LIV Golf

Preceding the first event of the LIV Golf Invitational Series in London, the PGA Tour announced on June 1, 2022, that they would sanction players who competed in the event. Seventeen PGA Tour members played in the event, including major champions Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Sergio García, Martin Kaymer, Louis Oosthuizen, Charl Schwartzel and Graeme McDowell, and former world number one Lee Westwood. Nine of the players resigned from the tour. On June 9, the tour announced that all members participating in the first LIV tournament, including those who had resigned, were no longer eligible to compete in tour events or the Presidents Cup.
Seven more PGA Tour members joined LIV Golf for the series' second event in Portland, Oregon, including major champions Brooks Koepka, Bryson DeChambeau, and Patrick Reed (who resigned from the tour). The PGA Tour confirmed their suspensions shortly following the start of that event.
In late July, the tour created a FedExCup Playoffs Eligibility ranking list which did not include the suspended players. Ten players who finished inside the top-125 of the standard FedExCup Standings were excluded; they were Talor Gooch, Jason Kokrak, Matt Jones, Hudson Swafford, Matthew Wolff, Abraham Ancer, Carlos Ortiz, Brooks Koepka, Charles Howell III, and Pat Perez. Three of these (Gooch, Jones and Swafford) failed in their attempt to gain a temporary restraining order to allow them to compete in the playoffs.
