2024 BMW Championship purse, prize money: Payouts for second ...
The field has been trimmed from 70 to 50 players, but the prize pool remains the same. The BMW Championship will divide up $20 million among those who tee it up this week at Castle Pines Golf Club in Colorado. The winner will not only take home $3.6 million, but he will better position himself for additional riches ahead of next week's Tour Championship.
Hideki Matsuyama claimed the first playoff event of the season and climbed to third in the FedEx Cup standings, but it only accounted for his second-largest paycheck of the year; he claimed $4 million for his win at the Genesis Invitational. Scottie Scheffler has cashed a winner's check on six separate occasions on the PGA Tour and is approaching $30 million earned this season and north of $71 million in his career. In fact, with his most recent finish at the St. Jude Championship, Scheffler surged inside the top five in career earnings on the PGA Tour and trails only Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Rory McIlroy and Dustin Johnson.
The BMW Championship will fall in line with the signature events from the regular season for the winner, but those who finish further down the leaderboard will receive an increased amount of money. Everyone inside the top 40 of the 50-man field will clear six figures, with those inside the top 20 clearing more than $250,000.
Here are your winners from the biggest events this season on the PGA Tour:
- The Sentry: Chris Kirk ($3.6 million)
- Pebble Beach Pro Am: Wyndham Clark ($3.6 million)
- Genesis Invitational: Hideki Matsuyama ($4 million)
