Scottie Scheffler, the last man standing at Atlanta’s East Lake Golf Club on Sunday, can boast of being the winner of the Tour Championship as well as the year-long FedEx Cup title. He also walked away with one incredible prize money payout.
This year the PGA Tour handed out $100 million for its FedEx Cup bonus pool, with Scheffler, the ultimate champion, earning $25 million. We understand that in this PGA Tour vs. LIV Golf world that paydays are exponentially greater than they were just a few years ago. And we know we’ve noted this before, but seriously this is a mind-blowing sum when you consider that for their entire PGA Tour careers, Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer, winners of 25 majors and 135 tour titles, earned a combined $7,595,888. The difference between finishing first and second this week alone was almost double that ($12.5 million).
As has been the case since the tour moved to its staggered-start scoring format for the Tour Championship in 2019—giving the FedEx Cup points leader entering East Lake a head start over the rest of the field—the money on the line this week in Atlanta was not official tournament prize money; no player’s individual career earnings increases as a result of his performance in the 2024 season finale.
Here is the prize money payout for each golfer in the final FedEx Cup standings after the conclusion of the Tour Championship. As with regular PGA Tour events, money is split equally among players if there are tied for different places in this last event of the 2022-23 PGA Tour season.
(Additional note: Every player in the FedEx Cup top 150 earns distribution from the bonus pool. It’s why the list below has far more prize money payouts than just the 30 competing in the Tour Championship.)
