offers $10 million to the

winner and that is a very big

motivator. Don’t feel too sorry

for theplayer that finishesdead

last in the Tour Championship

field though. He will receive

$135,000 in prize money and

an additional $175,000 in

FedEx Bonus Pool earnings.

$310,000 does tend to take

the sting out of finishing last.

Past winners of the $10

million FedEx Cup include,

Tiger Woods, Vijay Singh,

Jim Furyk, Bill Haas, Brant

Snedeker, Henrik Stenson,

Billy Horschel and Jordan

Spieth. Woods is the only

player to win the FedEx Cup

twice; he took home the $10

mil in 2007 and 2009.

Winning the $10 million

first-place check is fantastic,

but simply making the

top-30 is the goal of every

touring professional at the

start of each year. The four

tournaments

individually

offer an $8.5 million purse

with $1.485 million going to

each winner.

In addition, FedEx provides

a total bonus pool of $35

million to be split among the

top 150 golfers in descending

amounts down to $32,000

each, for numbers 126-150.

Add the $35 million bonus

pool to the $34 million total

purse available for the four

tournaments and FedEx

shells out $69 million every

September to the top 150

professionals on the PGA

Tour.

Merry Christmas boys!

For the players that failed to

make the FedEx Cup Playoffs

this year, not to worry. The

2016-17 PGA Tour season

begins with the Safeway

Classic immediately after the

Ryder Cup, October 13-16.

There’s always next year.
