Less than two months before the end of the season, the PGA Tour has significantly changed the FedEx Cup payment structure. The movement focuses on immersing the single bonus, the end of the year paid after the tournament championship and the creation of a stunning system in the three highlights of the season. That’s right, the initial shocks are gone. The five-year system that gave FedEx Cup leaders a multi-hit advantage in the final event is no more.
Here’s what you need to know about the changes.
The money has not changed
The total bonus pool remains at $ 100 million, so it’s not like someone is paying less. They will simply be paid at different times. The best performers will have to continue to earn their keeping throughout the Play off, but will also be nicely rewarded for the regular performance of the season.
The regular season matters more
A total of $ 20 million will be divided among the top 10 players in the FedEx Cup at the end of the regular season. With about a month to play, that Top 10 is currently:
Scottie Scheffler, Rory Mcilroy, Sepp Straka, Russell Henley, Justin Thomas, Ben Griffin, JJ Spaun, Keegan Bradley, Harris English and Tommy Fleetwood.
The top finish during the regular season will earn $ 10 million, with second place earning $ 4 million, by 10th place earning a $ 500,000 bonus.

Pays to reach the East Lake
An additional $ 22,925 million will be paid after the second Play-off event BMW, played this year at Caves Valley in Maryland-with the highest ranking player at that point earning $ 5 million. Only players advancing in the Tour Championship (Top 30 in FedEx Cup) will earn awards, starting up to $ 195,000 for 30.
Championship FREE TOURNES FOR EVERYONE
Compared to the last seasons, where most of the $ 100 million pool It was still for capture in the tour championship – and the top finish would take home a $ 25 million – winner in East lake will earn $ 10m for that week.
Basically, the Tour champion now operates a $ 40 million bag, with second place taking $ 5 million, third place $ 3.7 million, up to $ 355,000 per 30. Salary amounts for players advancing in the tour championship are as follows:
1. 10,000,000 dollars
2. 5,000,000 dollars
3. $ 3,700,000
4. $ 3,200,000
5. $ 2,750,000
6. 1,900,000 dollars
7. $ 1,400,000
8. 1,070,000 dollars
9. 900,000 dollars
10. 735,000 dollars
11. $ 695,000
12. $ 660,000
13. $ 625,000
$ 14. 590,000 dollars
15. 560,000 dollars
16. 505,000 dollars
17. 490,000 dollars
18. $ 475,000
19. $ 460,000
20. 445,000 dollars
21. 430,000 dollars
22. 415,000 dollars
$ 23. 400,000 dollars
24. 390,000 dollars
25. 380,000 dollars
26. 375,000 dollars
27. 370,000 dollars
28. 365,000 dollars
29. 360,000 dollars
30. 355,000 dollars
But wait! Has more
Remember the Comcast Top 10, an additional $ 40m pool that was created in 2021. Still still one thing! That pool is also scattered in the Top 10 in the FedEx Cup at the end of the regular season, after the Wynham championship.
In that pool, the highest rank player gets $ 8 million at home, with $ 2 million, another reason why playing well during the regular season is extremely useful to come in August. And don’t be afraid, the players who end up outside the 30 best, but still keep their tour card will receive payments from the $ 17.08 million remaining in the bonus pool.
Make it all make sense!
Let’s take the 2024 season of Scottie Scheffler, where he was collected $ 62.2 million in the course income and the rewards of ending the season. What would that season look like given the new structure?
