The PGA Tour, which now emphasizes the FedEx Cup, no longer has an award for winning the money title, which dates to 1981. The rookie award dates to Robert Gamez in 1990 and is decided by a vote of PGA Tour players. The Open Qualifying Series for PGA Tour events typically doesn’t start until tournaments leading up to the Open.
