Seven-point-six-million bucks almost seems kind of small.
At least when you consider what’s coming. Next week, the PGA Tour plays the FedEx St. Jude Championship, where 70 golfers will play for $20 million — and the top 50 will unlock status for next year’s big-money tournaments. The week after, those 50 will also play the BMW Championship, where another $20 million purse is on the line — and the top 30 will advance to the following week.
Where, at the Tour Championship, $75 million is up for grabs.
So yeah, seven-point-six million-bucks — the purse for this week’s Wyndham Championship — almost seems kind of small.
Almost, of course.
Below is a complete breakdown of the Wyndham money. TV coverage of the event starts at 1 p.m. on Golf Channel, then switches to CBS at 3.
