The inaugural Biltmore Championship Asheville, the PGA Tour's FedExCup Fall opener, carries a total purse of $5 million at The Cliffs at Walnut Cove in North Carolina, with the winner set to collect $900,000.
Who is leading entering the final round?
Neal Shipley, a PGA Tour rookie and former U.S. Amateur runner-up, began the final round at 21 under, one shot ahead of journeyman Ben Kohles. Eric Cole rounds out the final grouping. The trio will have to hold off 2026 Tour winners Jacob Bridgeman and Jackson Koivun, among other contenders, for the title.
How is the prize money split?
The winner's $900,000 check comes with a guaranteed PGA Tour card, and payouts stretch into six figures for finishers through 13th place. The purse is smaller than most other FedExCup Fall events this season, but for a rookie or journeyman without full status, the card that comes with the trophy matters more than the check.
| Finish | Payout |
|---|---|
| 1 | $900,000 |
| 2 | $545,000 |
| 3 | $345,000 |
| 4 | $245,000 |
| 5 | $205,000 |
| 6 | $181,250 |
| 10 | $136,250 |
| 13 | $106,250 |
Beyond the money, points from Sunday's result could also settle FedExCup Fall standings for players elsewhere in the field who are fighting to keep their PGA Tour cards for next season rather than chase the title outright.
