All 30 players at this week’s Tour Championship should be thrilled with how their seasons played out. Not only did they survive until the last event of the FedEx Cup Playoffs, signifying a rock-solid year on the course, but they’re also in line for a huge payout by week’s end.
The PGA Tour just made big-time structural changes. Here are the 10 biggest
The total bonus pool for the 2022 FedEx Cup Playoffs is $75 million, and a whopping $18 million of that will go to the winner of this week’s Tour Championship. But even for those who don’t take home the Tour’s season-long crown, things in Atlanta will still be pretty sweet.
Second place is in line for $6.5 million while third takes home a cool $5 million. In fact, every player in the top 10 will receive a seven-figure check. And even if you go down to the bottom of the leaderboard, there’s not likely to be many frowning faces as last place in the field still earns $500,000. Not too shabby for a week on the golf course.
