The final tournament of the regular PGA Tour season comes from Sedgefield Country Club in North Carolina, where players compete for the final chance to improve their FedEx Cup standings ahead of the first of the Playoffs, the FedEx St. Jude Championship, which takes place next week.
The top 70 players in the FedEx Cup standings after this week’s event qualify for the opening tournament in the Playoffs and, considering that in 2023 final Playoff event the Tour Championship handed $18m to winner Viktor Hovland, it’s not surprising that various players hovering around 70th in the standings are committed to this week’s action as they look to secure their places.
As well as the prestige of lifting the FedEx Cup and banking such a huge sum in just three weeks, there is the immediate financial incentive of $7.9m to play for this week, with $1.422m going to the victor. That’s $300,000 more than in 2023, when Lucas Glover overcame the challenges of Byeong Hun An and Russell Henley to take the title and a check for $1.368m.
This year’s winner will claim 500 FedEx Cup points to boost their standing, while there are also world ranking points on offer.
Below is the prize money payout for the 2024 Wyndham Championship.

Arguably the biggest name in the field is three-time Major winner Jordan Spieth, who sits 63rd in the FedEx Cup standings after a relatively disappointing season that has seen him drop to 37th in the world rankings.
He’ll be looking for a confidence-boosting performance ahead of the FedEx St. Jude Championship, where…
