Those held 'opposite' more important tournaments, e.g., the British Open or the limited field World Golf Championships events, receive only one-half the normal allotment of FedExCup points (25,000). And, after the fact, the season-ending seven events of the Fall Series receive a zero FedExCup award. What does all this have to do with The Masters and the trip down Magnolia Lane? Simply this: In order to qualify for a Masters invitation, the event won must carry full points. So, today's Viking Classic champion will have to settle for an official win and a first-place prize money of $648,000. Now, that's plenty of green, but unfortunately . . . Not Masters green.
