Scottie Scheffler isn't playing in the 2025 Wyndham Championship this weekend, but he's going to earn $18 million when the tournament ends on Sunday.
Scheffler, on the back of wins at the PGA Championship, British Open Championship, the Memorial Tournament and The CJ Cup Byron Nelson, leads the FedEx Cup standings by an insurmountable margin going into the final event before the FedEx Cup playoffs begin in Memphis next week. As a result, Scheffler will collect from two separate bonus pools to the tune of $18 million.
First, Scheffler will win $8 million from the Comcast Business Tour Top 10, which pays out a $40 million bonus pool to the top 10 players in the FedEx Cup standings at the conclusion of the Wyndham Championship. Two players in the top 10 in the standings are competing in Greensboro this week, with Ben Griffin and Keegan Bradley seeking better position heading into the three-event playoff series.
Then, Scheffler will collect another $10 million from a bonus pool announced in May that coincides with a change in how the FedEx Cup bonus pool is paid. The $100 million pool has now been split into three sections: $20 million paid at the end of the regular season to the top 10 in the standings (with $10 million to the winner), $22,930,000 paid out to the top 30 players in the standings after the second leg of the playoffs at the BMW Championship and $43 million paid out as the purse for the Tour Championship, which is now a single, 72-hole tournament without starting strokes. Another $17 million will be paid out in bonus money to players who finish Nos. 31-150 in the final FedEx Cup standings at the end of the playoffs.
Scheffler isn't assured of either the $5 million after the BMW Championship or the $10 million to the winner of the Tour Championship. However, if he wins both of those prizes, he can still earn the same $25 million he took home last year in winning the FedEx Cup at the Tour Championship at East Lake in Atlanta. Now, though, he's assured nearly half that money before the playoffs even start -- plus another $8 million that he earned last year for taking the regular-season crown.
Rory McIlroy is also guaranteed to finish second in the standings at the end of the Wyndham Championship, meaning he'll net $10 million himself ($6 million from the Comcast Business Top 10 and $4 million from the new regular-season pool).
