This year the PGA Tour handed out $100 million for its FedEx Cup bonus pool, with Scheffler, the ultimate champion, earning $25 million. We understand that in this PGA Tour vs. LIV Golf world that paydays are exponentially greater than they were just a few years ago. And we know we’ve noted this before, but seriously this is a mind-blowing sum when you consider that for their entire PGA Tour careers, Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer, winners of 25 majors and 135 tour titles, earned a combined $7,595,888. The difference between finishing first and second this week alone was almost double that ($12.5 million).
Sung Jae IM missed approximately 10 foot putt for a birdie, that would have him tied with 4th place
on 2024 Tour championship. Instead he finished with 7th place of which prize money is about 2 million
dollar less than that of 4th place. However, he got 2,750,000 dollars. Not too shabby, Sungjae!
