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.
