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)

Policemen so cherish their status as keepers of the peace and protectors of the public that they have occasionally been known to beat to death those citizens or groups who question that status.”
—David Mamet (b. 1947)
