Darren Clarke is set to rejoin the PGA Tour for next season.
Clarke will make use of a five-year exemption for winning the 2011 British Open and will be committed to playing a minimum of 15 PGA Tour events.
The restructured season starts in a month's time and will be split over two calendar years ending with the Tour Championship each September.
Hideki Matsuyama of Japan, Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano of Spain and Thorbjorn Olesen of Denmark also will join based on having enough money or FedExCup points equal to the top 125.
Meanwhile, former Masters champion Mike Weir, Stephen Ames, Fred Funk and Mark Calcavecchia are using their one-time exemption from being in the top 50 in career money.
Robert Allenby and Scott Verplank are using one-time exemptions from the top 25 in career money.
Vijay Singh and Davis Love III will be exempt as life members – both have at least 20 PGA Tour wins in their careers.
