At this week’s Wyndham Championship, the PGA Tour’s regular-season finale, the focus for players isn’t about the money that’s on the line but rather the points. FedEx Cup points. As the last of 36 tournaments on the 2024 schedule, it’s the final chance for tour pros to work their way inside the top 70 on the FedEx Cup points list and qualify for the PGA Tour’s postseason.
Making the already pressure-packed week even more chaotic is the horrible weather that has hit Sedgefield Country Club in Greenboro, N.C. The remnants of Tropical Storm Debby dump several inches of rain late Wednesday and Thursday, forcing tour officials to delay the start of the first round until 9:50 a.m. on Friday morning. The goal now will be to squeeze 72 holes into three days, but a Monday finish may be in store, particularly if there are any other delays in the next few days.
While all eyes will be on the FedEx Cup points list, there is a nice little payday awaiting the field as well. The prize money payout at the Wyndham is $7.9 million, with the winner earning $1.422 million for his victory.
Here’s a break down of the prize money payout for each golfer. We’ll update this list on Sunday (or Monday) shortly after the finish of the tournament.
Eakin Howard Private Sedgefield Country Club Greensboro, NC, United States 4.4 55 Panelists
Opened in 1926, Sedgefield Country Club is a Donald Ross design that has been the longtime host of the PGA Tour’s Wyndham Championship. The course co-hosted the inaugural Greater Greensboro Open (today’s Wyndham) in 1938, won by Sam Snead. The tournament has been played at several courses over the years, and Sedgefield has hosted since 2008. In 2007, the course underwent a $3 million restoration project aimed at transforming the layout back to Ross’ original intent. In typical Ross style, the greens are quite busy, with prominent slopes demanding the player stay below the hole. View Course
