At the risk of sounding like a broken record, the final event of 2024 on the PGA Tour schedule isn’t about the money, but rather about the points. FedEx Cup points are the currency of choice being played for at Sea Island Golf Club in St. Simons Island, Georgia, as players have their last chance at earning enough of those points to be inside the top 125 on the FedEx Cup standings and claim full status on tour for 2025.
A week ago at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship, three players moved inside the top 125: winner Rafael Campos (147 to 80), Sam Ryder (T-5, 135 to 122) and Wesley Bryan (T-17, 128 to 125). Those that fell were Henrik Norlander (T-57, 122 to 126), Daniel Berger (T-62, 124 to 127) and Hayden Springer (T-37, 125 to 128). Suffice it to say, everyone around the No. 125 bubble has plenty of incentive to perform well in this season finale.
There’s a game within the game, too, as anybody who finishes between 51st and 60th on the FedEx Cup points list after Sea Island has played their way into two early big-money signature events for 2025 (the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and the Genesis Invitational). That incentive has seven of the players sitting in those 10 spots entering the week here at Sea Island, with another seven sitting Nos. 61 to 70 also in the field.
And while we’re saying that money isn’t on top of everybody’s minds, there is a lot of scratch to be won this week. The overall purse at Sea Island is $7.6 million with the winner claiming a $1.368 million prize money payout.
Here’s the breakdown of the prize money payouts for everybody who makes the cut this week in Georgia. Come back on Sunday shortly after the tournament and we’ll update this list with individual names and paydays.
