East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Georgia, played host to the 2024 Tour Championship, marking the season’s final event. The top 30 players of the PGA Tour, having advanced through the FedEx Cup Playoffs, converged on the newly renovated course. With spots in all of 2025’s major events already secured, the focus of the Tour Championship was on the massive prize purse and the crowning of a season champion.
Scottie Scheffler, the World and FedEx Cup No. 1, entered the week with a slim advantage and quickly extended his lead with a 6-under 65 in the first round. Despite following up with strong rounds of 66 on both Friday and Saturday, Scheffler’s path to victory wasn’t entirely secured. Two-time major champion Collin Morikawa stayed close on his heels, recording three rounds of 67 or better to remain within striking distance.
The final round was set to be a showdown, with Morikawa aiming to claim his first FedEx Cup title and prevent Scheffler from notching his seventh win of the season—an accomplishment that would place him among an elite group of just four players who have won seven or more times, including a major, in a single season since 1980.
Regardless of who emerged victorious—whether it was Scheffler, Morikawa, or another contender making a comeback—the winner would not only take home the FedEx Cup title but also an extraordinary share of the largest prize purse of the season. The total prize money for the 2024 Tour Championship was set at a record-breaking $100 million, with the champion receiving a staggering $25 million. The top five finishers would each earn at least $5 million, while even the player finishing 30th would walk away with $550,000.
- This year’s FedEx Cup purse dwarfed all other events on the PGA Tour, with the Players Championship’s $25 million purse being the second largest. As the prize money on the PGA Tour continues to rise, the future promises even more lucrative opportunities for the world’s best golfers.
