PGA Tour Status
Beginning in 2010, the winner of the WGC-HSBC Champions, if he is already a full member of the PGA Tour, receives the same official victory credit as would be received in any regular PGA Tour event offering a two-year exemption. However, no official credit is given for prize money or tournament statistics (finish, scoring, etc.).
Beginning in 2013, the WGC-HSBC Champions will become part of the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup Schedule. Besides the victory, money, FedEx Cup points and tournament statistics will count as official. The winner will receive a three-year PGA Tour exemption.

Famous quotes containing the words tour and/or status:
“Do you know I believe that [William Jennings] Bryan will force his nomination on the Democrats again. I believe he will either do this by advocating Prohibition, or else he will run on a Prohibition platform independent of the Democrats. But you will see that the year before the election he will organize a mammoth lecture tour and will make Prohibition the leading note of every address.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“As a work of art it has the same status as a long conversation between two not very bright drunks.”
—Clive James (b. 1939)
