Five PGA Tour FedEx Fall Series events have smaller purses in 2024

The 2024 FedEx Fall Series features eight tournaments over an 11-week span, and the main point of emphasis for most of the participants is securing status for the PGA Tour’s 2025 season. As it turns out, they’ll also be playing for slightly less money overall than a year ago.

Of the eight events in the Fall Series, one is new: the Black Desert Championship in Utah. Of the seven that are back from a year ago, one will have more money on the line, another will offer the same amount as last year and five will feature lower total purses and lower winner’s checks than they did in 2023.

While the money is down a tad, the perks are the same, according to the Tour:

Tournaments in the FedExCup Fall offer winners the same benefits as Regular Season events – including a two-year exemption on the PGA Tour, 500 FedExCup points and spots in the Players Championship, the Sentry and those major championships that invite PGA Tour winners.

Needless to say, there’s still quite a bit to play for.

Here’s a closer look at the fall 2024 events and the money.

Procore Championship

The lone fall event with a new name from a year ago was the Procore Championship, with its new title sponsor moving with lightning speed to get a deal done. Total purse in 2024 was $6 million – as compared to $8.4 million – and the first-place prize saw a drop of $432,000.

Sanderson Farms Championship

Wayne Sanderson Farms’ run as a full partner with Jackson and its PGA Tour event has been a historic one. However, the 2024 Sanderson Farm Championship will be the last for the company as the title sponsor of the Jackson, Mississippi, stop. While its contract runs through 2026, the company decided in August to move on as the title sponsor, but remain as a major sponsor for the tournament, which is held at the Country Club of Jackson. The purse in 2024 is down $600,000 and the winner’s check is a slight $8,000 lighter from 2024.
