The Total Payout
There is money to be made at TPC Southwind. The FedEx St. Jude Classic boasts a total purse of $6.4 million, with a hefty $1.152 million of that pot going to the eventual winner. That’s excellent news for this week’s field considering the total payout last year amounted to only $6.2 million. To put into perspective the difference in winnings, defending champion Daniel Berger (+2,800) earned $1.116 million in prize money last year. That’s $36,000 less than the amount the FedEx St. Jude Classic champion will receive this year. Finishing second in this tournament ain’t bad either with the runner-up receiving a payout of $691,200. On the other end of the leaderboard, the 70th or so golfer to make the cut this week will take home around $12,800.
