EA SPORTS Rory McIlroy PGA TOUR

I thought I would add the tournament schedule for the pro career mode just to give players an idea of where they are when going for the achievements,

Bioware Classic
Arnold Palmer Invitational
International Challenge
EA Sports Spring Invitational (WIN for Invitation Only achievement)
Boston Championship
The Players Championship
U.S. Open (Win for Open for Business achievement)
Mid Season Classic
The Open Championship (Win for Drinking from the Jug achievement)
Tiburon Championship
PGA Championship (Win for Wanamaking History achievement)
EA Charity Invitational
Northeast Invitational - FedEx Playoff Event
Deutsche Bank Championship - FedEx Playoff Event
Orlando Classic - FedEx Playoff Event
Season Finale - FedEx Final (Win for Special Delivery achievement)

I think the first thing to understand is that the Fed Ex Cup is a season long competition, whereby the winner is the person who racks up the most Fed Ex points during the year - not necessarily the winner of the last event.

Don't ask me how the points accumulate but needless to say, the better you do the more points you get. Also, the points increase as the year goes, so for example the last tournament carries loads more points than the first tournament. To help you can track where you are by looking under the Fed Ex rankings in the stats page.

Assuming you are winning all the majors for achievements, you will gain a lot of points, and what I would do is skip some of the lesser tournaments, but always check that I was still leading the points. If anyone get within 500 I would always play the next one.

The last 4 tournaments are technically a competition within, so be careful as if you drop too low in the rankings you could actually not be eligible for the next round (top 30 is crucial). As there are a lot of points on offer for the last 2 (Deutsche Bank and Tour Championship I believe) I would suggest you play them. Also, when you go into the last round, see who are in the top 5 of the Fed Ex - you can still win the Fed Ex even if you don't win the last tournament as long as no-one in the top 5 beats you.

Good luck!

**edit - it would appear that either the achievement wording is misleading, or the achievement itself is bugged - either way, as per feedback it would appear that winning the Fed Ex Cup is not good enough to unlock the achievement, and that you must actually win the last tournament to be able to get the achievement. As such make sure you win the final event to be sure to get the achievement!**

Obtaining this achievement comes in two parts.
Part 1:
For the first part the idea is to make sure that you have the most points leading into the tour championship (Fed-ex Final). Each tournament offers anywhere between 250-600 points towards your tally, depending on the event. You do not have to play in every event so if you wish to save time you can withdraw from events if you feel you have a decent lead. To save time and effort, play through the tournaments on quick rounds. Where in each round you play anywhere between 4-9 holes as apposed to the full 18. If by the 4th round of a tournament you aren't in the lead or atleast striking distance of the lead, change the setting to full course play where playing the full 18 holes will give you the best opportunity to take the win.
Now if you play most of the tournaments and win most of them you should be several thousand points in front of the nearest player. Which can come in handy for the next part.

Part 2: so by now you should be at the playoff events. It is very important that you are careful when selecting to play or skip these events because each event nets up 2000 points for the winner and skipping could cost you the lead in the cup points. If you have a heavy lead and feel comfortable skipping them, make sure to check the leaderboard after each even as staying in 1st position is important.
The very final event is the tour championship. This is where coming in first place before now comes in handy as everyone's points are reset, with first place starting on 2000 points, second on 1800, all the way down to 30th position on 168 points.
This tournament can prove tricky with the other players scoring far better than previously during the championship.
Just like usual play through the rounds on quick rounds. If you aren't in a leading position by the 4th round, restart the game (close the game from dashboard) and start it up again. Changing the setting to full round. Now if your AI are anything like mine you will need to play a full round on the 4th as they had an absolute killer round 3. Play through the 4th round making sure that you have the lead to ensure that at the end you have the most overall points.
After doing so you will have won the fed ex cup and as you return to the menus your achievement will pop.
