Overview
- The Tour Championship’s entire $40 million FedEx Cup pool will now count as official prize money, undoing the 2019 switch to unofficial bonuses.
- Payouts are divided into $25.33 million in immediate FedEx Cup cash that counts toward career earnings and $14.67 million in deferred payments.
- The winner’s $10 million prize comprises $9 million in cash credited to official money lists and $1 million deferred.
- All 30 competitors will start from scratch under a traditional 72-hole stroke-play format, with the lowest total score deciding both the Tour Championship and FedEx Cup champion.
- Restoring these payouts to career earnings for the first time since 2018 alters incentive structures and carries new tax and recordkeeping implications for players.
