Here's the FedEx Cup prize money payout for each golfer at the 2023 Tour Championship

Ryan Young/PGA Tour

To the winner goes the spoils. But the spoils that come with winning this week’s Tour Championship for Viktor Hovland … well they’re the spectacular variety.

Try $18 million.

Yep, that’s the payday the 25-year-old from Norway collected (after earning $3.6 million for his win last week at the BMW Championship) by closing with a Sunday 63 at East Lake Golf Club (after shooting a Sunday 61 for his win last week at the BMW) to claim a five-shot triumph over Xander Schauffele. Officially, the money on the line this week in Atlanta is not tournament prize money, but rather the payout for the $75 million FedEx Cup bonus pool that players are receiving for their finishes in the season-long points race. (No player’s career earnings increases as a result of their performance in the 2022-23 season finale.)

But that doesn’t mean the cash isn’t crazy. We’ve noted this in the past, but we think it’s worth repeating: 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 is more than that ($11.5 million).

Here then 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.

An additional note: Every player in the FedEx Cup top 150 earns some 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.

Viktor Hovland wins Tour Championship and takes FedEx Cup title

• Show more sharing options
• Copy Link URL Copied!

Viktor Hovland played the best golf of his life in the final two weeks of the PGA Tour season, and it paid off Sunday with the biggest trophy of his career — a FedEx Cup title along with the $18 million bonus.

Staked to a six-shot lead, Hovland didn’t flinch under a relentless challenge from Xander Schauffele . The 25-year-old Norwegian stayed on the attack and closed with a seven-under 63 for a five-shot victory in the Tour Championship at East Lake.

Hovland capped off his best season with three victories. Even more staggering is that he played his final tournaments — the BMW Championship at Olympia Fields and the Tour Championship — in 36-under par.

Schauffele made him work for that $18 million and got to within three shots with seven holes to play. Hovland ended the suspense with a 25-foot par putt on the 14th hole, and he put Schauffele away with a 10-foot birdie putt on the 16th.

RJ Peete isn’t just a clubhouse attendant with autism. He’s a central part of the Dodgers family

RJ Peete, the son of former NFL quarterback Rodney Peete and actress Holly Robinson-Peete, hasn’t let autism stop him from living his dream with the Dodgers.

Aug. 27, 2023

Schauffele and Hovland put on a superb show. Playing in the last group, on a day that was delayed nearly two hours by thunderstorms, they had the best scores of the day.

Hovland was the No. 2 seed going into the Tour Championship, meaning he started at eight-under par. Hovland posted a 19-under 261 — the same score as Schauffele, who started the tournament at three-under par.

Schauffele did everything he could. He was six shots behind when he left East Lake on Saturday evening, knowing that his only hope was to put as much pressure on Hovland as he could over the front nine.

Schauffele shot 30. Hovland nearly matched him birdie for birdie, posting a 31 that included a key 15-foot par save on No. 2 after the two-hour delay from thunderstorms that slightly softened the East Lake turf.

Schauffele, for all his California chill, was simply relentless. He holed an 18-foot birdie putt on the par-three 11th hole and followed with a 12-foot birdie on the 12th, cutting the lead to three shots with seven holes to play.

It felt like the margin was even smaller considering how well Schauffele was playing, and Hovland having missed three birdie chances from 10 feet or closer.

The putt that mattered came at the 14th, the toughest hole at East Lake. Hovland came up short of the green, about 100 feet from the flag, and his pitch was weak and stopped just inside 25 feet from the hole.

He poured it in the heart and pumped his fist stronger than he had all day. The clincher was another pure short iron, this one to 10 feet on the 16th for birdie. At that point, the engraver went to work on the silver FedEx Cup trophy.

Louis Lappe’s walk-off home run lifts El Segundo to Little League World Series title

Louis Lappe hit a walk-off home run in the sixth inning to power El Segundo to a 6-5 win over Curaçao in the Little League World Series championship game.

Now it’s a matter of how his peers judge his season. The PGA Tour player of the year was thought to be a two-man race between Masters champion Jon Rahm and his four wins and Scottie Scheffler with The Players Championship among his two wins and the No. 1 ranking from his remarkable consistency.

Hovland ended the season with wins at the Memorial and two FedEx Cup playoff events, including the one that mattered.

U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark won the B-Flight, closing with a 65 to finish third, 11 shots behind. That was worth a $5 million bonus. Rory McIlroy had a 65 to finish fourth and collect $4 million, while Patrick Cantlay (66) was alone in fifth to earn $3 million.

The next time Hovland and Schauffele meet is for no prize money at all — the Ryder Cup in Rome in a month’s time.

Tour Championship 2023: How $75 Million in Prize Money Breaks Down at the FedEx Cup Finale

A massive pool of FedEx Cup prize money will be divvied up this weekend — let’s discuss what the PGA Tour’s biggest stars stand to earn at the Tour Championship.

Remember when the PGA Tour and LIV Golf were involved in a world-historical feud, sued each other approximately 42,690 times (don’t look that up, it’s just science), and then agreed to merge like some kind of bizarro will-they-or-won’t-they sitcom plot resolution? Like, when the writers’ room is really, really out of ideas?

Well, from a US regulatory perspective, the chances that Saudi Arabia’s sovereign Public Investment Fund becomes the only major investor in the proposed venture are basically zero, but as it relates to dollar signs, the PGA Tour nonetheless got the memo — in today’s golf environment, you gotta pony up big-time.

The Tour Championship , which begins Thursday, Aug. 24 at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, marks the finale of the FedEx Cup Playoffs , the PGA Tour’s trendy competition format that seeks to recognize the year’s best players overall. Is it The Masters? No. But you don’t get $18 million for winning The Masters.

Yes, $18 million.

There’s a lot to parse here, so let’s explain how the full $75 million load of FedEx Cup prize money really breaks down! With 2022 Masters champion Scottie Scheffler entering as the favorite to take the top prize as Viktor Hovland and Rory McIlroy nip at his heels, welcome to Boardroom’s 2023 Tour Championship payout party.

Get on our list for weekly sports business, industry trends, interviews, and more.

An important final note — these figures are not actually Tour Championship prize money per se. Rather, they represent FedEx Cup payouts for the entire season of the competition; the Tour Championship simply represents the final event on the calendar. As a result, though just the top 30 golfers in the standings are competing this week at East Lake, 150 players will receive some share of the $75 million FedEx Cup prize money pool , with no bag smaller than $85,000.

All told, 125 competitors are guaranteed a six-figure check, but in one strict sense, the “official” Tour Championship payout is still zero. All that work for nothing, Scottie Scheffler! What a racket.

FedEx Cup Playoffs: Tour Championship format, how it works, bonus payouts

Here's the starting positions, format and bonus payout for the season-ending Tour Championship, the final leg of the FedEx Cup Playoffs.

Getty Images

All that talk you hear about trying to earn a spot in the Tour Championship? Here’s why it’s worth it.

Only 30 players qualified for this week’s season-ending Tour Championship at East Lake it Atlanta, which is the third and final leg of the FedEx Cup Playoffs. But for getting into the playoffs (top 70), past the FedEx St. Jude (top 50) and through the BMW Championship (top 30), players are handsomely rewarded.

All players in the Tour Championship get a two-year exemption on the PGA Tour and invites for the 2024 Masters. (U.S. Open and Open Championship exemptions are likely, too, although those haven’t been announced yet.)

Oh, right, and the money. There’s a lot of that. A total purse of $75 million is up for grabs.

The winner brings home a whopping $18 million, but even the runner-up gets $6.5 million and third place $5 million. In fact, everyone inside the top 10 gets seven figures. As for last place? They get $500,000, which isn’t exactly pocket change, either.

Here’s the entire bonus payout for the FedEx Cup Playoffs and Tour Championship.

FedEx Cup Playoffs, Tour Championship bonus structure

1st — $18 million 2nd — $6.5 million 3rd — $5 million 4th — 4 million 5th — $3 million 6th — $2.5 million 7th — $2 million 8th — $1.5 million 9th — $1.25 million 10th — $1 million 11th — $950,000 12th — $900,000 13th — $850,000 14th — $800,000 15th — $760,000 16th — $720,000 17th — $700,000 18th — $680,000 19th — $660,000 20th — $640,000 21st — $620,000 22nd — $600,000 23rd — $580,000 24th — $565,000 25th — $550,000 26th — $540,000 27th — $530,000 28th — $520,000 29th — $510,000 30th — $500,000

As for how the FedEx Cup Playoffs actually work, that’s another story. It’s evolved over the years, and this year the top 70 in the FedEx Cup standings after the Wyndham Championship qualified for the playoffs and were guaranteed their Tour cards for the following season.

Tour Confidential: Ryder Cup locks, Brooks Koepka’s chances, Brandel tells all

The first of three playoff stages was the FedEx St. Jude, and the top 50 in the standings afterward advanced to last week’s BMW Championship . That was a big hurdle that came with an important incentive, too, as those who made it to the BMW field earned guaranteed spots into the Tour’s eight big-money Signature Events for 2024.

Finally, the top 30 after the BMW Championship head to Atlanta for this week’s Tour Championship. The Tour uses staggered starting positions (FedEx Cup points leader Scottie Scheffler is in first, so he has a head start at 10 under, and so on), but we’ve learned anything can happen.

Last year, Rory McIlroy came from nine shots back after he tripled bogeyed the first hole to top Scheffler and win the tournament (and massive first-place payout).

Here are the starting positions for everyone in the playoffs.

Tour Championship starting scores

10 under: Scottie Scheffler Eight under: Viktor Hovland Seven under: Rory McIlroy Six under: Jon Rahm Five under: Lucas Glover Four under: Max Homa, Patrick Cantlay, Brian Harman, Wyndham Clark, Matt Fitzpatrick Three under: Tommy Fleetwood, Russell Henley, Keegan Bradley, Rickie Fowler, Xander Schauffele Two under: Tom Kim, Sungjae Im, Tony Finau, Corey Conners, Si Woo Kim One under: Taylor Moore, Nick Taylor, Adam Schenk, Collin Morikawa, Jason Day Even: Sam Burns, Emiliano Grillo, Tyrrell Hatton, Jordan Spieth, Sepp Straka

Golf | defending fedex cup champ viktor hovland commits to travelers championship.

Defending FedEx Cup champion Viktor Hovland has committed to the 2024 Travelers Championship, the tournament announced on Tuesday.

The 26-year-old native of Norway made his professional golf debut on a sponsor’s exemption at the 2019 Travelers. He also took part in the event in 2020 and last season, with his best finish coming in 2020, when he tied for 11th.

Hovland won his first-ever FedEx Cup title last season and is currently the No. 7 ranked player in the World Official Golf Rankings.

“Viktor is one of the promising young players we gave a sponsor’s exemption to in 2019, and it hasn’t taken him long to show why he deserved that opportunity,” Travelers Executive Vice President Andy Bessette said in a statement. “He’s made an impression with his play – he’s won on the PGA TOUR each of the past four seasons – but he’s also one of the nicest, most down-to-earth people you’ll ever meet. We’re excited to watch him compete and be part of our world-class player field this year.”

Hovland will join a loaded field that already includes Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Collin Morikawa, Keegan Bradley and Patrick Cantlay, among others. The tournament’s status as a PGA Tour Signature Event  means a majority of the world’s top players will be at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, competing for their piece of a $20 million purse, with $4 million going to the winner.

FedEx St. Jude Championship prize money breakdown, points distribution

Change Text Size

It’s time for the FedExCup Playoffs, with the top 70 in the season-long standings headed to Memphis, Tennessee, for this week’s FedEx St. Jude Championship.

For the first time in the Playoffs’ 17-year history, the starting field will feature less than 125 players. The reimagined format created a heightened sense of urgency at last week’s Wyndham Championship, epitomized by Justin Thomas’ birdie chip on the 72nd hole hitting the cup on the fourth hop before bouncing out. Thomas missed the Playoffs by one shot, as did Adam Scott.

The FedEx St. Jude Championship, contested at TPC Southwind, features a $20 million purse with quadruple points on offer. The winner of the no-cut event will receive $3.6 million and 2,000 FedExCup points. Elevated points provide increased volatility down the stretch, with the top 50 on the FedExCup standings at week’s end advancing to the BMW Championship. The top 30 after the BMW Championship will advance to the TOUR Championship.

Last year’s winner Will Zalatoris will not compete this week , as he has been sidelined for most of the season due to a back injury, surgery and rehab. Jon Rahm, Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy carry the top three positions on the FedExCup, respectively, into the postseason.

Check out the full purse breakdown and points distribution for the 2023 FedEx St. Jude Championship below.

2023 FedEx Cup standings, schedule, PGA Tour leaderboard, purse, prize money for FedEx Cup Playoffs

Your one-stop shop for everything you need to know ahead of the 2023 fedex cup playoffs.

Two FedEx Cup Playoffs events are in the books, and Lucas Glover and Viktor Hovland have left their mark. Glover took down the top 70 on the PGA Tour in Memphis at the FedEx St. Jude Championship while Hovland shot a 61 to race past the top 50 in the playoffs at the BMW Championship at Olympia Fields. As a result, both have moved into the top five of the FedEx Cup standings as the Tour heads to East Lake for the Tour Championship.

The most obvious changes to the playoffs this year is the field size. While 30 has always been the number at the Tour Championship, the St. Jude Championship was reduced from top 125 to top 70 this year and the BMW bumped down to the top 50. These smaller fields have made the bubble watch for the following event even more interesting than normal as the top 50 in this year's FedEx Cup automatically qualify for the eight small-field signature events on next year's PGA Tour schedule . As noted earlier, the top 30 move on to the Tour Championship.  

2023 FedEx Cup Playoffs schedule

All three events are 72-hole, stroke-play tournaments, though the fields gradually get smaller as the playoffs roll on. The points change, too, as everything is quadrupled. During regular season events, most winners receive 500 FedEx Cup points for finishing first at tournaments (in a handful of events, 600 points went to first place). The winners of the first two FedEx Cup Playoffs events will instead receive 2,000 points each. The point boost goes for every slot on the leaderboard: 300 for second becomes 1,200 and so on. 

Only four golfers -- Rahm, Scheffler, McIlroy and Max Homa -- surpassed the 2,000-point total during the entire regular season , which means the FedEx Cup standings have already have shifted quite a bit, although those four are all still in the top six in the rankigns Winners are disproportionately rewarded and deservedly so given this is the postseason.

This provides the opportunity for golfers -- like Glover -- to go on a hot streak and rocket up the FedEx Cup standings. After not even sniffing the top 25 in the FedEx Cup standings all year, he is suddenly in the top five with one events to go. Regardless of what else happens, everyone in the top 10 of the FedEx Cup rankings is in prime position at the Tour Championship at East Lake. Similar to other sports, now that the postseason has begun, almost anything can happen.

2023 FedEx Cup standings

Again, there was not too much movement at the top of the standings. Part of that is because Rahm and Scheffler built a massive 1-2 lead in the regular season, and part of it is because most of the top 10 players in the FedEx Cup standings have played well early in the playoffs. 

Here's a look at the top 30 going into the Tour Championship.

The scores are set for the Tour Championship, and the top five have an extraordinary lead on the bottom five. Beating Scottie Scheffler is difficult enough. Now you have to do so with him up by five or seven or 10 on you to start the week. 

Every winner of the Tour Championship in this current format has started Tour Championship week at 4 under or better, and two of the eventual winners have started at 10 under. It's unlikely that anyone outside of the top 10 here will win this tournament and the $18 million first prize. 

2023 Tour Championship format

Heading into the Tour Championship inside the top five or top 10 in the FedEx Cup standings is important because of how scoring is dispersed. Whoever is first in the FedEx Cup standings after the BMW Championship starts the Tour Championship at 10 under, and the event is played under normal scoring conditions from there. Second starts at 8 under and so on (see full numbers below). 

With so much money at stake (again, $18 million for first place), those margins become more meaningful than even a normal week. 

• 6th-10th: -4
• 11th-15th: -3
• 16th-20th: -2
• 21st-25th: -1
• 26th-30th: E

Last year, McIlroy overcame a six-stroke deficit at the start of the week and a five-stroke deficit at the start of the final day to defeat Scheffler by one and swipe an additional $11.5 million from him in the process.
