To put the size of that prize into perspective, it’s slightly smaller than The Players Championship, The Masters, The PGA Championship, The US Open and The Open … combined. The total purse is enough to weigh on players’ minds, but the big prize alone is causing some concern on the back nine Sunday, given that it surpasses every prize this season except the Players Championship. Two of those championship checks were deposited into the bank account of Cameron Smith, who started the week six strokes back of FedEx Cup No. 1 Scottie Scheffler. Reigning Masters champion Scheffler earned about $4 million more than the Australian during the 2021-22 season. He was able to add $5.75 million more to his total, eventually falling to McIlroy by a single stroke. Let’s take a look at how the 2022 Tour Championship payouts were distributed among those competing this week at East Lake.
