\t\t\t\tAnother PGA Tour season has come to a close. Here\u2019s how the Tour Championship prize money and FedEx Cup bonus will be shared among the last 30 players standing\u2026<\/p>\n

With the PGA Tour now spreading the FedEx Cup\u2019s $100 million prize pool, the last 30 players vying for the year-end title<\/a> will have to settle for sharing a measly $40m between them come Sunday evening in Georgia.<\/p>\n

With no starting strokes, as per years gone by<\/a>, the Tour Championship becomes a regualar 72-hole shoot out, albeit with no cut for the slow starters to worry about.<\/p>\n

The Tour Championship winner will not only be crowned the 2026 FedEx Cup champion, but they\u2019ll bank a cool $10m, with $5m reserved for the runner-up and $3.7m for bronze. There will be seven-figure paydays down to eighth place, with the player propping up the leaderboard in 30th, still receiving a cheque worth $355,000.<\/p>\n

And that man will be Scottie Scheffler, whose Sunday 66 saw him overtake 54-hole leader Viktor Hovland to win a second FedEx Cup title.<\/p>\n

Aside from the mammoth bonuses, all 30 of the Tour Championship field will receive two two-year PGA Tour exemption, entry into the eight lucrative Signature events of 2027, and are guaranteed entry into next year\u2019s Masters, US Open, and Open Championship.<\/p>\n
