- The top five (5) finishers entering Naples will control their destiny at the CME Group Tour Championship - meaning if they win in Naples, they will also win the $1M CME Globe.
- The top twelve (12) finishers entering Naples will have a mathematical chance to win the $1M CME Globe.
- Please note that previously, the top 3 controlled their destiny and top 9 had a mathematical chance of winning.
