However, there are 9,000 points available this week, giving this week's contestants a chance to advance to the even more lucrative season finale, which will feature a $10 million prize.
Players will also be eyeing a separate opportunity for a huge prize, with the top 10 players sharing next weekend's $6 million prize pool, with the Race to Dubai winner receiving an additional $2 million.
For European teams, there are also 2,000 Ryder Cup points available.
