Wyndham Clark is trying to make a push for the PGA Tour’s Player of the Year Award.<\/p>\n

Clark won the 2026 BMW Championship<\/a> on Sunday at Bellerive in St. Louis, Missouri, his third win of the season and first since the U.S. Open<\/a>. He topped Patrick Cantlay by three shots for the win, and he’s going to be one of the favorites next week at the Tour Championship in the FedEx Cup Playoffs finale.<\/p>\n

With his win, he also took home the top prize of $3.6 million.<\/p>\n

Here’s the breakdown of how much money each player earned at the BMW, where there was a purse of $20 million.<\/p>\n
