  2. Players who finished nos. 51-60 on the prior season’s final FedExCup Fall points list
  3. Swing 5: Top five FedExCup points earners from the Sony Open through the WM Phoenix Open
  4. Current-year tournament winners
  5. Leading finisher from the Race to Dubai not otherwise exempt
  6. PGA TOUR members in the top-30 of OWGR on Monday February 16th
  7. Special Invitational: in addition to the four (4) tournament invitations, The Genesis Invitational also will award the annual Charlie Sifford Memorial Exemption to a deserving recipient who represents the advancement of diversity in our sport.
