The regular season may be over, but that does not mean the big-money payouts have come to an end. Transitioning to the postseason, the PGA Tour will reward those who have qualified for the 2024 St. Jude Championship — and the next two weeks of the FedEx Cup Playoffs — quite handsomely starting with a $20 million prize pool up for grabs in Memphis.
This sum falls in line with the eight signature events from the regular season. The winner’s share will amount to $3.6 million just like five of the signature events with the Genesis Invitational, Arnold Palmer Invitational and Memorial shelling out a bit more — $4 million to their champion.
More times than not, it has been Scottie Scheffler emerging victorious from those big-money tournaments; he has four signature-event wins under his belt in 2024. Scheffler has collected $15.2 million in just winner’s checks alone and has accumulated north of $28 million so far this season. This has propelled him all the way up to fifth in PGA Tour’s career money leaders with a shade over $70 million to his name.
Here are your eight winners from signature events this season:
- The Sentry: Chris Kirk ($3.6 million)
- Pebble Beach Pro Am: Wyndham Clark ($3.6 million)
- Genesis Invitational: Hideki Matsuyama ($4 million)
- Arnold Palmer Invitational: Scottie Scheffler ($4 million)
- RBC Heritage: Scottie Scheffler ($3.6 million)
- Wells Fargo Championship: Rory McIlroy ($3.6 million)
- The Memorial Tournament: Scottie Scheffler ($4 million)
- Travelers Championship: Scottie Scheffler ($3.6 million)
The winner will not be the only player to walk through Memphis with a smile on his face, though, as everyone inside the top 11 will clear at least $500,000. Those inside the top 36 will see six figures hit their bank accounts, while everyone in the field will be taking home a paycheck with last place receiving $40,000.
