Additional Information:

• FedExCup Fall Format: Offers 500 points to winners, with subsequent placements earning progressively fewer points. Only players ranked outside the top 50 can accumulate these points, and exemptions are available for those finishing in positions 51st-60th by the end of the season.

• Course Details: Silverado’s North Course plays as a par 72 with narrow fairways and trimmed rough. The course encourages aggressive play, especially on the par 5s, while the par 4s present more scoring opportunities. Greens are slower, averaging 11 1/2 feet on the Stimpmeter, which allows for bold putting strategies.

• Weather: Expect sunny conditions with highs in the 80s and light winds, possibly increasing on Sunday. Morning fog might delay early tee times.

The tournament is set to be a competitive start to the FedExCup Fall, with several top players and rising stars looking to make their mark at Silverado.
