The winner of the FedEx Cup at East Lake earns $15 million.
Technically speaking, there was no tournament prize money payout at this week’s Tour Championship. Rather, the financial rewards decided after four rounds at East Lake Golf Club come from the bonus pool given to players for their finish in the final season-long FedEx Cup standings. It’s why no player’s career PGA Tour earnings will increase as a result of anything that went on this week in Atlanta.
That said, we’re really talking semantics. With the format change initiated last year, which aligns the finish at the Tour Championship to the finish in the final FedEx Cup standings, that bonus money amounts to a tournament purse. And that purse was rather large.
With his three-shot victory on Monday in Atlanta, Dustin Johnson was the big winner in the season-long FedEx Cup race, earning $15 million after closing with a two-under 68. Johnson had won $2.7 million the past two weeks in prize money with his win and runner-up showing at The Northern Trust and BMW Championship. Adding up all that loot, Johnson now has earned $40.44 million in his career in the FedEx Cup alone, which trails only Rory McIlroy for the most of an tour pro since the Playoffs began 14 years ago.
Below is the prize money payout for each golfer in the final FedEx Cup standings after the conclusion of the Tour Championship. As with regular PGA Tour events, money is split equally among players if there are ties for different places in this last event of the 2019-’20 PGA Tour season.
