2024 Wyndham Championship: Final Payouts and Prize Money from the PGA Tour’s Regular Season Finale

The 2024 Wyndham Championship, held at the Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina, was not just another stop on the PGA Tour; it was the crucial finale of the regular season. As the last of 36 events before the Tour’s postseason, the stakes were high, with players battling for more than just a victory—they were fighting for precious FedEx Cup points to secure a spot in the top 70 and advance to the playoffs.

The tournament week was intense, with players under immense pressure to perform. But the competition wasn’t the only challenge. Tropical Storm Debby rolled through the region, dumping several inches of rain on the course. The severe weather led to significant delays, with the start of the first round being postponed from Thursday. Consequently, what was meant to be a four-day event was condensed into three days of fierce competition.

Despite the soggy and shortened schedule, the Wyndham Championship concluded with a dramatic finish. Aaron Rai emerged victorious, securing his win in the twilight hours of Sunday. His final round performance was enough to hold off the competition, despite Matt Kuchar, part of the final pairing, having to return to the course on Monday morning to complete his round. Kuchar was unable to overtake Rai’s lead, leaving Rai to claim the top spot.

While the competition for FedEx Cup points was fierce, no player managed to break into the top 70 standings by the end of the tournament. Victor Perez, who had been sitting in 70th place as of Thursday, maintained his position, securing his place in the postseason.

In addition to the valuable FedEx Cup points, the Wyndham Championship boasted a substantial prize pool of $7.9 million. Aaron Rai, the tournament winner, took home $1.422 million of that total. Below is a detailed breakdown of the prize money awarded to the top finishers:
