HISTORICAL FACTS: Pga tour changes payouts from fedex cup playoffs bonus pool | History Defined

The winner of the Tour Championship will receive $10 million from a $40 million tournament purse. | John David Mercer-Imagn Images

With a change to the format coming this year at the Tour Championship, the PGA Tour is altering the disbursement of $100 million in bonus money that is paid out to players who make it to the final event of the FedEx Cup playoffs.

Because the tournament will no longer have a starting strokes format and will have all 30 players competing for a single tournament title, the winner will now receive $10 million in bonus money, with $5 million going to second place and $355,000 going to last place. There will be a total purse of $40 million.
