Winning in the FedEx Cup Fall portion of the PGA Tour used to come with a lot more than it does now — starting the season at Kapalua for The Sentry, a spot in the Masters in April and a two-year exemption on tour.

Kapalua is out this year because of water shortage from a drought and allegations that a century-old water delivery system has fallen into disrepair.
