Ok, so it’s no surprise that the winner of the FedExCup playoffs gets a huge bonus. Normally, that bonus is $10 million, but the PGA Tour upped it this year to $15 million for the winner.
Yes, that sounds absurd, but when you compare that to what 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th get it’s even crazier.
The top five players at East Lake later this week will win more than any major champion this year.
