Brooks Koepka picked up a cool $3 million on Sunday without even touching his golf clubs.
By virtue of finishing first in the FedEx Cup standings and thanks to the Wyndham Rewards top 10 bonus cash, Koepka gets to add a bunch of zeroes to his bank account. His first-place finish there was good for $2 million.
Koepka pocketed another $1 million for winning the season-long Aon Risk Reward Challenge. Alex Noren was the only one who could’ve gotten in Koepka’s way, but he was a real long shot because he needed two double-eagles in four days on the 15th hole. Alas, he did not.
But Koepka is not the only one who cashed in without playing. Eight others who finish in the regular-season top 10 skipped the Wyndham Championship.
Webb Simpson, meanwhile, had himself a nice week. He finished second in the Wyndham and that was good for $669,600. That finish also vaulted him into to the top 10 in the Wyndham points standings, which means he nabbed another $550,000.
