It’s easy to get wrapped up in which player is bound for FedEx Cup glory at the Tour Championship — and the cool $15 million check that comes along with it. More commonly overlooked is how all that other cash is distributed, i.e., the remaining $45 million!
The FedEx runner-up banks $5 million, third place is good for $4 million, while the fourth- and fifth-place finishers have to settle for a measly $3 million and $2 million, respectively.
How do the FedEx Cup Playoffs work? Here’s everything you need to know
Some of these winnings will be sorted Sunday evening at East Lake, but a good chunk of FedEx Cup change has already been sorted among the 120 players who didn’t qualify for the Tour Championship — from K.H. Lee, who pocketed $200,000 for his 31st place finish in the playoffs down to the pack of players who finished between 126th and 150th (including the likes of Justin Rose, Rickie Fowler and Tommy Fleetwood) and made $70,000 for their efforts.
