The winner of the Tour Championship will take home HUGE money

After a LONG 2021 season, we’ve finally reached the finish line: the final event of the 2021 PGA Tour season, the Tour Championship. Below, find everything you need to know about the Tour Championship’s massive money prize, including purse, payout information and winner’s share.

Tour Championship final round preview

As it turns out, holding a hefty lead at the beginning of a golf tournament is a fairly accurate predictor for success in that golf tournament. The FedEx Cup Playoff format, which spots the leaders a handful of strokes heading into the Tour Championship, has worked like a charm in 2021. Through three rounds at the Tour Championship, the leader is the exact same person who entered the tournament in first place, and at 10 under: Patrick Cantlay. Cantlay (-20) has held onto his two-stroke lead heading into the weekend, but he’ll have to bring his A-game on Sunday to hold off a host of challengers highlighted by Jon Rahm.

Rahm (-18) is back in the hunt in a big-time event for the first time since winning the U.S. Open in June, and is looking for his first-ever FedEx Cup victory. Behind him, Justin Thomas (-15) is looking to mount a late charge, but has significant ground to make up at East Lake on Sunday.

Further back, Bryson DeChambeau (-9) is looking to make up ground on Sunday. His foil, Brooks Koepka, withdrew from the Championship on Saturday with an undisclosed wrist injury.

Below, find the complete payout information, including winner’s share, for the Tour Championship’s mammoth $46 million (!) purse; you can catch the action all afternoon long on NBC.
