2026 Tour Championship prize money: Full purse, winner's share breakdown
The 2026 Tour Championship , the grand finale of the PGA Tour season, has officially teed off. Not only is the coveted FedEx Cup title at stake, but a substantial portion of the massive $40 million prize pool will go to the champion.
The stakes are high for the field of elite golfers at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. The winner of the Tour Championship not only claims the prestigious FedEx Cup trophy but also walks away with $10 million of the prize pool.
The runner-up will still secure a $5 million payout. Golfers finishing in the top eight are each guaranteed at least $1 million, with payouts gradually decreasing further down the leaderboard. Ultimately, each of the 30 finalists (including J.J. Spaun, who withdrew on Thursday ) will leave East Lake with a substantial reward.
Below is a breakdown of payouts for the Tour Championship and how the rewards are distributed among the world’s top golfers as they vie for the season-ending title.
