We’ve finally reached the final round of play at the 2022 FedEx St. Jude Championship, which means we’ve also reached the first payday of the 2022 FedEx Cup Playoffs! Below, find everything you need to know about tournament money for the first of the Playoffs’ $75 million prize fund.
FedEx St. Jude Championship final round preview
There’s big money, but also big pressure on the line on Sunday at the FedEx St. Jude Championship. In Memphis, only the top 70 players, by points, will advance to the next round of the FedEx Cup Playoffs, meaning there’s ground to be gained by nearly everyone in the field heading into Sunday.
J.J. Spaun leads the way through 54 holes at 13 under after three rounds in the 60s to start his week. Trailing closely behind is Sepp Straka (-12), alongside Trey Mullinax (-11). Cameron Smith (-11) is also firmly in contention heading into Sunday’s final round. The reigning Open Champion (and rumored LIV defection) has the opportunity to vault himself near the lead of the FedEx Cup standings with a victory on Sunday.
How Will Zalatoris overcame his self-described ‘rut’
Further back, though, is the prohibitive crowd favorite, Will Zalatoris. Zalatoris enters Sunday at the FedEx St. Jude looking for his first PGA Tour victory, hoping to claim a win after two snakebitten runner-up finishes in two majors in 2022. Zalatoris (-11) is just two strokes back heading into Sunday’s final round.
Of course, it’s the FedEx Cup Playoffs, which means money is abound. The first piece of the $75 million prize pool will be handed out on Sunday in Memphis, a massive, $15 million purse. Below, find everything you need to know about that money, including payout information and winner’s share; you can catch the action from 12-2 p.m. ET on Golf Channel, and from 2 p.m. until the completion of play on NBC.
