The tournament has been cut from 70 players to 50, but the prize pool remains the same. The BMW Championship will split $20 million among players this week at Castle Pines Golf Club in Colorado. The winner will not only take home $3.6 million, but will also be in a better position to earn more money ahead of the Tour Championship next week.
Hideki Matsuyama won the first playoff event of the season and climbed to third place in the FedEx Cup standings, but it only accounted for his second-largest payday of the year; he won $4 million for his victory at the Genesis Invitational. Scottie Scheffler has collected a winner’s check six separate times on the PGA Tour and is closing in on $30 million in earnings this season and more than $71 million in his career. In fact, with his most recent performance at the St. Jude Championship, Scheffler moved into the top five in career earnings on the PGA Tour, behind only Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Rory McIlroy and Dustin Johnson.
The BMW Championship will follow the same regular-season events as the winners, but those who finish lower on the leaderboard will receive increased prize money. Everyone in the top 40 of the 50 will earn six figures, with those in the top 20 earning more than $250,000.
Here are the winners of this year’s PGA Tour’s biggest events:
- The watchman: Chris Kirk ($3.6 million)
- Pebble Beach Professional: Wyndham Clark ($3.6 million)
- Genesis Invitational: Hideki Matsuyama ($4 million)
- Arnold Palmer Invitational Tournament: Scottie Scheffler ($4 million)
- Player Championship: Scottie Scheffler ($4.5 million)
- RBC Legacy: Scottie Scheffler ($3.6 million)
- Wells Fargo Championship: Rory McIlroy ($3.6 million)
- Memorial Tournament: Scottie Scheffler ($4 million)
