A record-setting year for the PGA Tour came to an end with the biggest prize pool in tournament history being won Sunday at the 2022 Tour Championship. Between late payments and prize money, a total of $75 million was staked to the best players on the PGA Tour with $18 million for Rory McIlroywho came from six strokes back in the fourth round to win the Tour Championship and the FedEx Cup for a record third time.
To look at the size of this total prize pool, it’s only slightly smaller than the Player Championship, Masters, PGA Championship, US Open and Open… combine. The entire purse is enough to weigh heavily on players’ minds, but the grand prize alone created some unease on Sunday 9 back as it surpassed every prize pool this season other than the Championship. player enemy.
Two of those championship checks were deposited in the bank account of Cameron Smith, who started the week six strokes behind FedEx Cup No. 1 Scottie Scheffler. The reigning Masters champion Scheffler earned about $4 million more than the Australian during the 2021-22 season. He was able to add $5.75 million to his total, eventually falling into McIlroy’s hands with a single hit.
