The final leg of the race to the FedEx Cup is here with the 2022 Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Georgia. There is no doubt that the Tour Championship is the PGA Tour's ultimate prize. The top 30 players in the FedEx cup standings will be competing for the most financially rewarding event on the PGA tour. To get a good understanding of just how rewarding this event is, just remember that last year’s winner, Patrick Cantlay, took home $15 million. That’s usually the amount of the entire pot for most majors on Tour. With prize money of that amount, there’s no doubt that the FedEx Cup title is one of the most coveted titles on the Tour.
There was no shortage of drama on the final day of the tournament. Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy was in a close dog fight all day with Sungjae Im applying pressure ahead of the two. In the end, Rory McIlroy came out victorious coming back from 6 shots behind Scottie Scheffler. Making history in the process, McIlroy took the FedEx Cup title for the third time; the first ever to do so.
The Total Purse at the Tour Championship
The total purse at this year’s Tour Championship is an astronomical $75 million. This is unlike any pot we’ve ever seen on the tour and comes in good timing, with the rise of the Saudi-backed LIV Golf Tour. To offer another perspective, the person still at the 30th position at the close of the tournament is poised to take home $500,000. In fact, Will Zalatoris will receive that since he had to withdraw due to having herniated disks. With his win at East Lake McIlroy will be taking home $18 million, a 20% bump from last year.
