This week\u2019s BMW Championship is the second-to-last event of the 2026 FedEx Cup playoffs, but it\u2019s the final event to determine the season-long race for FedEx Cup bonuses.<\/p>\n
As part of rule changes made over last two seasons, the PGA Tour has decided to pay out the biggest FedEx Cup bonuses after the BMW Championship and before the season-ending Tour Championship.<\/p>\n
And the payouts that will be distributed on Sunday are massive.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s what you should know.<\/p>\n
Changes to FedEx Cup bonuses and Tour Championship<\/p>\n
The 2026 Tour Championship will still determine this year\u2019s FedEx Cup champion, and the player who ends up on top at East Lake will earn $10 million.<\/p>\n
But the biggest FedEx Cup bonuses based on the season-long standings<\/a> will be determined after the BMW\u2019s final round. The total amount to be dished out after the second playoff event is staggering: nearly $100 million.<\/p>\n The first-place FedEx Cup bonus is a whopping $23 million. But the race for that top prize is already over. After leading the FedEx Cup standings all season long, Scottie Scheffler<\/a> locked up the $23 million grand prize with his win at last week\u2019s FedEx St. Jude Championship<\/a>.<\/p>\n So while no one can get past Scheffler this week, the rest of the payouts will be impacted by players\u2019 performances at the BMW Championship.<\/p>\n The difference between second place ($13 million total) and 10th ($1.31 million), for example, is more than $11.6 million.<\/p>\n You can see the complete 2026 FedEx Cup bonuses for the top 125 players in the final FedEx Cup standings below.
