St. Jude Championship payouts: Hideki claims $3.6M

The regular season of the PGA Tour may have ended, but the season’s lucrative payouts are far from over. As the tour shifts into its postseason, the PGA Tour has begun rewarding those who qualified for the 2024 St. Jude Championship and the subsequent FedEx Cup Playoffs with significant prize money. The first of these postseason events, held in Memphis, featured a massive $20 million prize pool, setting the stage for the intense competition that would follow.

This substantial prize aligns with the eight signature events from the regular season, where top-tier golfers competed for equally impressive rewards. The winner’s share for the St. Jude Championship, claimed by 2024 champion Hideki Matsuyama, was $3.6 million. This amount mirrors the prize awarded at five of the signature events, while three others—the Genesis Invitational, Arnold Palmer Invitational, and Memorial Tournament—offered slightly higher payouts of $4 million each.

Throughout the 2024 season, Scottie Scheffler has proven to be a dominant force, particularly in these high-stakes events. With four signature-event victories under his belt this year, Scheffler has collected an astounding $15.2 million in winner’s checks alone. His total earnings for the season have now exceeded $28 million, propelling him to fifth place on the PGA Tour’s career money leaders list, with a career total of over $70 million.

Here are the winners from the eight signature events of the 2024 season:

– **The Sentry:** Chris Kirk ($3.6 million)
– **Pebble Beach Pro-Am:** Wyndham Clark ($3.6 million)
– **Genesis Invitational:** Hideki Matsuyama ($4 million)
– **Arnold Palmer Invitational:** Scottie Scheffler ($4 million)
– **RBC Heritage:** Scottie Scheffler ($3.6 million)
– **Wells Fargo Championship:** Rory McIlroy ($3.6 million)
– **The Memorial Tournament:** Scottie Scheffler ($4 million)
– **Travelers Championship:** Scottie Scheffler ($3.6 million)

Matsuyama wasn’t the only player to leave Memphis with a significant payout. Every golfer who finished within the top 11 positions earned at least $500,000. Furthermore, the top 36 players took home six-figure sums, and even the player who finished last in the tournament received a $40,000 check.
