    For all the debate this summer about rapidly rising prize money payouts in professional golf, it was crazy to think what was on the line this week at the Tour Championship. The winner on Sunday at East Lake Golf Club was going to earn $18 million for his victory.

    Let’s repeat this: $18 million.

    By comparison, for their entire PGA Tour careers, Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer, winners of 25 majors and 135 tour titles, earned a combined $7,595,888.

    And that winner, fittingly, was Rory McIlroy, the man who has served as the de facto face of the PGA Tour in 2022. As LIV Golf has risen to prominence and created a schism in men’s pro golf this summer, McIlroy has been the calming presence the PGA Tour needed, rallying some of the biggest names to try to keep the tour together.

    McIlroy began the tournament six shots back of Scottie Scheffler, was 10 shots back after two holes (when he opened with a triple bogey, bogey), nine back after 36 holes and a six back to start the final round. But with rounds of 67-67-63-66 to get to 21 under, he rallied for a third career FedEx Cup title to the ones won in 2014 and 2019.

    Technically speaking, the money on the line in Atlanta is not tournament prize money, but rather the payout for the $75 million FedEx Cup bonus pool that players are receiving for their finishes in the season-long points race. No player’s career earnings will increase as a result of their performance in the 2021-22 season finale.

    Here then is the prize money payout for each golfer in the final FedEx Cup standings after the conclusion of the Tour Championship. As with regular PGA Tour events, money is split equally among players if there are ties for different places in this last event of the 2021-’22 PGA Tour season. We’ll update this list shortly after Sunday’s finish to include individual names with their earnings.

    One additional note: Every player in the FedEx Cup top 150 earns some distribution from the bonus pool. It’s why the list below has far more names than just the 30 competing in the Tour Championship.
