The 2024 FedEx Cup Playoffs will come to an end in a few hours. Scottie Scheffler entered the East Lake with a lead on the standings, despite Keegan Bradley winning the BMW Championship last week. This earned the World No. 1 an advantage of 10-under as he entered the field. Well, it did turn out in his favor because the 28 YO has been in the lead for the first three rounds.

Currently, he is at a five-stroke lead ahead of Collin Morikawa. Xander Schauffele was almost 1500 points ahead of the final leg of the playoffs. He entered the field with an advantage of 8-under. After the Saturday round though, he dropped down to a solo fourth, 10 strokes behind Scheffler. The odds are pretty much clear – the former gets to take home the trophy this year if the momentum remains the same.

How much will Scottie Scheffler take home if he wins?

The Tour Championship has a purse of a whopping $100 million. Last year, it was Viktor Hovland who bagged a prize money of $18 million. This year, there’s an increase of $7 million in the winner’s share. If Scottie Scheffler wins on Sunday, he will be taking home $25 million in bonus money. The runner-up and the second runner-up will be getting $12.5 million, and $7.5 million.

The last player in the field will be getting $550,000. Here’s what the entire prize money payout looks like for the 2024 Tour Championship:

1	$25,000,000	16	$795,000

This year, the FedEx Playoffs marks out to be the 18th edition of the event. Through the past seventeen seasons, it has had a total of 14 different recipients of the trophy. No player apart from the legendary two has been able to win at the final event more than once.

Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods host special record to their names

The Tour Championship winner becomes the final winner of the PGA Tour season since it is not just the conclusion of the playoffs, but the conclusion of the yearly format too. During its inception back in 2007, the former world’s top-ranked golfer claimed the TOUR’s biggest prize. Tiger Woods bagged two tournament wins and a second-place finish, earning the $10 million bonus with a record-setting performance at the Tour Championship. Later on, after Vijay Singh’s victory in 2008, he once again bagged the trophy.

However, it is the current World No. 3 Rory McIlroy who has bagged the trophy the highest number of times – thrice. In 2016, he won in a three-man playoff that he won on the fourth hole to claim both the TOUR Championship and the FedExCup. McIlroy then had his wins in 2019, and 2022. However, after 48 holes at the East Lake this year, he is currently at T10, with Ludvig Aberg and Sungjae Im. Nonetheless, the 35 YO pro has had a great run in the venue. Stay tuned to find out the ultimate results this year in just a few hours!
