The PGA Tour’s season and the FedEx Cup Playoffs officially end this week at East Lake.

Whoever ends up lifting the FedEx Cup on Sunday afternoon will take home a record $25 million bonus.

The PGA Tour is offering $100 million from its FedEx Cup bonus pool this week at the Tour Championship. The payouts are by far the biggest offered anywhere in 2024, thanks largely to the 30-man field size at East Lake in Atlanta. The top 12 golfers will take home more than $1 million, and the last man in the field will earn $550,000.

By comparison, Viktor Hovland earned $18 million for his Tour Championship win last season.

The $25 million prize matches the total purse that was offered for The Players Championship, which was the largest offered on Tour this season. Scottie Scheffler earned $4.5 million for his win there in March. Signature Events on Tour offered $20 million purses, which the Masters matched in April. The U.S. Open offered a $21.5 million purse, which was the most ever offered at a major championship. Keegan Bradley earned $3.6 million for his win last week at the BMW Championship, which also had a $20 million purse.

Scheffler, who has won six times on Tour this season, has already won just shy of $30 million. He will start in first at the Tour Championship at 10-under for the week under the staggered start format. Xander Schauffele will start in second at 8-under, and Hideki Matsuyama will start in third at 7-under.
