The BMW Championship paid out $20 million at Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis, with $3.6 million of it going to Wyndham Clark for his third win of the season. The second FedEx Cup Playoff event carried the same purse as the opening FedEx St. Jude Championship.
How does the BMW Championship prize money work?
Because the BMW has no cut, every player in the 50-man field who completed four rounds earned a cheque, which makes it one of the most reliably lucrative weeks on the PGA Tour calendar. Last place was worth $66,000. A solo runner-up collected $2.16 million.
| Position | Payout |
|---|---|
| Total purse | $20,000,000 |
| Winner | $3,600,000 |
| Solo second | $2,160,000 |
| Last place | $66,000 |
The winner's share matches what Scottie Scheffler banked at the event a year ago, when he beat Robert MacIntyre by two. The 30 players who advanced move on to East Lake for the Tour Championship and a $40 million purse; the 20 who did not are finished for the season.
