PGA Tour Revamps FedEx Cup Payout Structure

The PGA Tour has revamped its FedEx Cup payout structure, eliminating the convoluted staggered start system in favor of staggered bonuses at specific checkpoints in the final month of the season.
The overhaul sees the FedEx Cup champion earning $10 million instead of $25 million, with $5 million awarded to the leader after the BMW Championship and $10 million allocated after the Tour Championship win.
This change aims to create a more engaging and less perplexing season-ending playoff, rewarding consistent performers throughout the season while also recognizing top tournament performers.
