In the opening round of the FedEx Cup Playoffs, all 70 players involved in the FedEx St Jude Championship have made the weekend thanks to the no-cut rule and are all looking to fire themselves as far up the leaderboard as possible on Sunday.
Depending on how successful they are at doing so will relate to their eventual payout, with a grand total of $20 million set to be shared out and a cool $3.6 million awaiting the man who follows in Hideki Matsuyama's footsteps by winning.
Those who end in second or third will scoop at least $1.3 million each, with a six-figure check ready to be sent to anyone who finishes inside the top half of the entire field.
Unlike Signature Events, where the total payout is worked out for more than the top-70 players, fewer competitors means most of the field will earn just a little bit extra than they would normally. Even the player who comes dead last is guaranteed to secure $40,000 at the FedEx St Jude Championship.
This week's $20 million prize purse makes up a significant part of the total FedEx Cup Playoffs payout, which stands at $100 million overall.
Scottie Scheffler is currently the runaway leader at the top of the season-long points race and is looking for his second consecutive FedEx Cup - an achievement which would see him join Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy as the only multiple-time winners.
Below is the full prize money payout breakdown for the 2025 FedEx St Jude Championship at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee.

WHERE IS THE FEDEX ST JUDE CHAMPIONSHIP BEING PLAYED?
The FedEx St Jude Championship is being played at TPC Southwind - an 18-hole championship course located next to FedEx's headquarters in south-east Memphis, Tennessee.
Designed by Ron Prichard, who was aided by Hubert Green and Fuzzy Zoeller, TPC Southwind opened in 1988 and was used as the host for the PGA Tour's FedEx St Jude Classic between 1989 and 2018.
TPC Southwind briefly staged the WGC FedEx St Jude Invitational between 2019 and 2021 before the Memphis course began welcoming the PGA Tour's best for the opening round of the Playoffs in 2022.
It is a par-70 course measured at a little more than 7,200 yards. The course record is 61, which was achieved by three players: Jay Delsing (1993), Bob Estes (2001) and Tom Lewis (2020).
