Hideki Matsuyama started his week on the way to the FedEx St. Jude Championship by getting robbed of his wallet, and the result robbed him of his caddie and coach for the week.

Safe to say, he’ll be able to replace the wallet after this week’s payout from the first FedEx Cup Playoff event.

This week isn’t all about the money, though. The 70-player field doesn’t get cut during the week, but it does get trimmed to 50 via the FedEx Cup stands, which decide not only which 50 move on to next week’s BMW Championship, but also which 50 are exempt for all eight PGA Tour Signature Events in 2025.

Matsuyama was already assured of that, coming into the week ranked inside the top 10 of the standings, where he’s been since winning the Genesis Invitational in February.

But his week was thrown into chaos when he was robbed at the London Airport when traveling back from the Olympics. Matsuyama’s wallet was stolen, but his caddie, Shota Hiyato, and coach, Mikhito Kuromiya, both had their passports taken and needed to return to Japan to get new ones.

On the course, Matsuyama and fill-in caddie Taiga Tabuchi have been business as usually. He’s torn apart TPC Southwind this week and is well on his way to not only replacing that wallet, but standing to earn a lot more in two weeks time at the Tour Championship.

With that, here is the complete payout breakdown for this week’s FedEx St. Jude Championship, played at TPC Southwind. The total purse is $20 million.
