TOUR Championship: How much each Player wins

TOUR Championship 2024: Prize Money and Payout Distribution

The 2024 PGA Tour season reaches its climax this Sunday at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, where the TOUR Championship will determine the winner of the FedEx Cup. This year’s tournament marks the sixth season of the staggered-scoring start format, and once again, Scottie Scheffler entered the event with a two-stroke lead at the top of the leaderboard. However, this time, Scheffler was determined to hold onto his advantage and claim the enormous prize money that comes with winning the TOUR Championship.

Scheffler has been in this position before, twice entering the TOUR Championship with a lead only to be overtaken. The first time, Rory McIlroy made a stunning comeback to win, and in 2023, Viktor Hovland’s hot streak carried him to victory. But in 2024, Scheffler appeared more focused than ever, firing a remarkable 16-under through the first three rounds to establish a commanding five-shot lead over Collin Morikawa and the rest of the field.

With such significant prize money on the line, there’s no shortage of motivation for players at East Lake to perform at their best. The stakes are high, and the rewards are extraordinary.

#### TOUR Championship Purse 2024: Winner’s Prize and Total Purse

The winner of the 2024 TOUR Championship will walk away with an astounding $25 million in prize money. This figure represents a $5 million increase over the total purse of the PGA Tour’s signature events and the other two playoff events. The total purse for the TOUR Championship this year is $82.95 million, which will be distributed among the 30 players who qualified for the tournament at East Lake. In addition, the total FedEx Cup purse is $120 million, with $17.05 million of that amount being allocated to players who finished between 31st and 150th in the final FedEx Cup standings.

The prize money at the TOUR Championship is nothing short of extraordinary. A Top 5 finish at East Lake guarantees a minimum payout of $5 million, which is more than the winner’s share at any other PGA Tour event. Additionally, every player who finishes inside the Top 12 will take home at least $1 million, while even the last-place finisher will earn a substantial $550,000.

Perhaps the most impressive statistic in all of this is that Scottie Scheffler, who entered the final round at East Lake with a five-stroke lead, is the only player to surpass $25 million in earnings during the 2024 PGA Tour season. Should he close out the tournament successfully, his earnings will increase significantly, cementing his place as one of the top earners in golf history.
