2025 American Express purse: Payout info, winner’s share

It will be interesting to see how things shake out in the final round of the American Express, especially considering this event could earn Sepp Straka, who is currently leading by four strokes, enough Ryder Cup points to get him back in the mix ahead of the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black in September.

Straka, who played in the 2023 Ryder Cup, is currently ranked 60 in the European team rankings with only 80.82 points to his name. However, this win would help him secure 335 Ryder Cup points, and based on the current European Team rankings, it would be enough to rocket him into seventh place.

On top of Ryder Cup points, the American Express is also a great opportunity for pros to earn FedExCup points toward the next two Signature Events, as it’s the second event of the Aon Swing 5. 

After next week’s Farmers Insurance Open, the top five players, not otherwise exempt, in FedExCup points will qualify for the AT&T Pro-Am. After Saturday’s round, J.J. Spaun, Justin Lower, Charley Hoffman, Harry Hall, and Mark Hubbard are projected to earn their way into the next two Signature Events.

And, not for nothing, this weekend, the field is competing for $8.8 million. That’s a $1.584-million payday for whoever takes home the trophy. Below you can find a breakdown of the entire money payouts for the American Express.
