Scottie Scheffler will win $5 million on Sunday at the end of the 2025 BMW Championship, even if he finishes in dead last at Caves Valley Golf Club in Maryland.
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 finale at the Tour Championship in Atlanta.
For 2025, the FedEx Cup bonus pool is being paid in a new way.
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.
Since Scheffler leads the FedEx Cup standings by more than 2,000 points over Rory McIlroy heading into this week's event, Scheffler is assured the $5 million first-place prize from that $22.93 million pool allocated ahead of the Tour Championship.
Scheffler has now earned $23 million in bonus money from FedEx Cup related bonus pools.
Scheffler won $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.
Then, Scheffler won another $10 million from the $20 million bonus pool announced in May that went to the top 10 in the final regular-season standings.
Scheffler won $33 million last year in FedEx Cup bonuses by earning $8 millon from the Comcast Business Tour Top 10 and $25 million for winning the Tour Championship and the FedEx Cup. Now he's assured of at least earning most of that again in 2025. If he wins the Tour Championship at East Lake, he'll earn $10 million in official PGA Tour money, and he'll walk away from the year with the same massive haul as 2024.
