The Finals determined the other 25 players to earn their PGA Tour cards and their priority order.
As in previous seasons, the Finals featured the top-75 players on the Web.com Tour's regular season money list, players ranked 126–200 on the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup regular season points list (except players exempt through other means), non-members of the PGA Tour with enough FedEx Cup regular season points to place 126–200, and special medical exemptions.
Patton Kizzire (Finals and regular season combined earnings) and Chez Reavie (Finals earnings) were fully exempt for the 2015–16 season and received invitations to The Players Championship.
Note: Kim Si-woo had previously been a PGA Tour member in the 2013 season, but did not play ten events and retained his rookie status.
Miguel Ángel Carballo, Kelly Kraft, Rod Pampling, Michael Thompson, and Tim Wilkinson regained their cards through the 2016 Web.com Tour Finals.
