2026 Tour Championship purse: Payout breakdown, total money

A long list of PGA Tour winners and former FedEx Cup champions are battling on Sunday to win the 2026 Tour Championship. Whoever comes out on top after the final round at East Lake will take home the FedEx Cup trophy. They’ll also leave with a huge winner’s share from the enormous total Tour Championship purse.

In fact, players are fighting for the largest purse all season this week. The total payout for the Tour Championship is a whopping $40 million.

Even better news for the competitors at East Lake is that the purse will be shared among just 30 players.

That’s far more money than was dished out at the 2026 Masters ($21 million), the 2026 Players Championship ($25 million), the PGA Championship ($20.5 million), the U.S. Open ($22.5 million) and the Open Championship ($17.75 million).

The leader heading into the final round is Viktor Hovland, who won the FedEx Cup title back in 2023. If he wins again on Sunday, this time around he’ll earn $10 million for first place.

But he’s going to have to fend off the likes of World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Ludvig Aberg, Adam Scott and Ryan Gerard, who starts the final round in second, to do so.

The consolation prize for second place, $5 million, should help nurse any wounds from missing out on the Tour Championship’s top prize.

And the third-place paycheck isn’t bad either: $3.705 million.
