BMW Championship: $20M Payout Breakdown
Clark takes home $3.6M from $20M purse as top 50 FedEx Cup players compete.
The update
The top 50 players in the FedEx Cup standings competed at the BMW Championship, where a $20 million purse was distributed. Wyndham Clark emerged victorious, securing his third win of the season with a three-stroke victory over Patrick Cantlay at Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis.
Why it matters
Clark’s $3.6 million payday represents the largest individual share of the tournament’s purse. The win solidifies his position as a serious contender for Player of the Year honors and moves him to No. 3 in the FedEx Cup standings. With the Tour Championship boasting a $40 million purse next week, these playoff events carry significant financial stakes for players.
What to watch
All 50 players in the field earned at least $66,000, with the top 40 all receiving six-figure paydays. Scottie Scheffler, last week’s winner, has already secured the top spot in the standings and a $23 million bonus regardless of his Tour Championship performance. The question now is whether Clark can maintain his momentum and challenge for the FedEx Cup title.
