One person is leaving Atlanta $18 Million richer than they were when they arrived on Sunday night.
The Tour Championship’s final round is underway. This brings about many changes in the event’s payout structure. The prize pool was $60 million, with $15 million going the winner. These numbers have risen to $75 million and $18million, respectively, this year.
The bonus pool has been increased so that top-10 finishers will receive seven-figure paychecks, and the 30th place finisher will earn $500,000.
The Tour Championship does not have a purse, as there is at other tournaments. East Lake players can only earn the FedEx Cup Playoffs Bonus Money.
