Tour de France 2025 prize money: How much does each jersey winner earn?
The race's 112th edition began in Lille, with Slovenia's Pogacar, who previously triumphed in 2020, 2021, and 2024, aiming to join Britain's Chris Froome in the elite club of four-time winners.
That will edge him closer to the record five titles held by Bernard Hinault, Jacques Anquetil, Eddy Merckx and Miguel Indurain.
Along the way, Pogacar has earned plenty of reward for his efforts. Riders secure bonuses from their teams for their exploits on the bike during the Tour, but there is plenty of prize money on offer from race organisers ASO too. They scoop prize money for stage wins, combativity awards, King of the Mountains points and much more.

Rory McIlroy: Tour Championship format not settled, match play was discussed
August 19 - At least for this year, the 30 players who advanced to the Tour Championship this week in Atlanta are starting from scratch. No FedEx Cup points were carried over, and no player will get a head start over any other. Asked Tuesday if getting rid of the "starting strokes" arrangement left the PGA Tour with the "best format" for its season championship, Rory McIlroy merely said it's the format they have for this week. "I'm maybe part of the minority. I didn't hate the starting strokes," Northern Ireland's McIlroy told reporters at East Lake Golf Club. "I thought that the player that played the best during the course of the season should have had an advantage coming in here. But the majority of people just didn't like the starting strokes." McIlroy sat on the player advisory committee that sorted out what to do about the often confusing Tour Championship format. In May, the tour announced that it was eliminating starting strokes, calling the move "an important first step in the evolution of our postseason." McIlroy said it was done with the fans in mind, though he also can hear the argument that Scottie Scheffler, who finished the points race a runaway No. 1, may deserve more than a two-stroke head start as he's gotten in years prior. Then McIlroy revealed that the PAC discussed match play among its several options to further evolve the Tour Championship. "Look, there was a lot of other stuff on the table. Match play was on the table, and that got canned for this year," McIlroy said. "That might be brought back up in the conversation for next year or the year after. "I think it's just hard for the players to reconcile that we play stroke play for every week of the year but then the season-ending tournament is going to be decided by match play. I think it was just hard for the players to get their heads around that." The PGA Tour had one official match-play event from 1999-2023, after which the WGC Match Play was squeezed off the schedule. Though many argue that a match-play bracket only determines the best golfer of the week, not the best golfer of the year, McIlroy won the 2015 WGC Match Play as the No. 1 overall seed. Former World No. 1 Dustin Johnson did the same in 2017, and Scheffler pulled out a victory in 2022 as the fifth overall seed. Golf Digest on Tuesday laid out a mock match play bracket that would give the top eight seeds, including Scheffler and No. 2 McIlroy, a first-round bye as a reward for their season-long excellence, not unlike first-round byes for top seeds in the NFL playoffs. "I don't know, maybe that will be on the table again, who knows," McIlroy said of match play. "Yeah, look, it's a 72-hole stroke-play event, and that's what we play week in and week out. That's what's going to determine the winner." The FedEx Cup was introduced in 2007, and McIlroy has won the most of anyone with three (2016, 2019, 2022). He's gearing up to try for a fourth, and he doesn't mind starting out the week without an advantage over the 30th golfer in the field. "I don't think I ever started this tournament in the starting strokes era at 10 under, like in the No. 1 spot," he said. "If anything, I'm in a better position than I have been the last few years, so that's a nice thing. "But no, I think with the format change or with whatever the money is, we're still playing for the Tour Championship and the FedEx Cup, and that's enough to play as hard as possible for." --Field Level Media

Tommy Fleetwood on string of PGA Tour near-misses: ‘I'll get it right'
August 19 - Time and again, Tommy Fleetwood has come up just short of winning on the PGA Tour. But he'd rather harness his emotions into something positive than give in to the anger and the doubt. "I've thrown the odd club in the water or something when I'm out there and maybe feel a bit better for a while," Fleetwood quipped Tuesday. "But I'm not that great at being angry. It just doesn't suit me." The accomplished Englishman has yet to win stateside, and the near-misses this season no doubt have stung. But he didn't need a victory to finish fifth in the FedEx Cup points standings ahead of this week's Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. Fleetwood's season is inarguably strong on paper -- seven top-10s, only one missed cut in 18 events -- and he has tied for third and tied for fourth at the first two legs of the FedEx Cup playoffs. But the T3 finish at the FedEx St. Jude Championship came after a late bogey Sunday meant he would not join a playoff between J.J. Spaun and countryman Justin Rose, the eventual champ. "It's funny, really -- you walk off the course on Sunday last week and I was happier with a fourth-place finish than I was with a third in Memphis," Fleetwood told reporters. "It's a strange game that way. But just very happy with the consistency of my golf and the level I've been playing at. "Golf is a crazy game. You never know what you're going to turn up with week in and week out, but this year has been a very good year, and the last few weeks have been good as well." Another heartbreaker Fleetwood endured came in June at the Travelers Championship, a signature event and the site of his sixth career runner-up finish on tour. After blazing rounds of 66, 65 and 63, he ceded the lead late on Sunday to Keegan Bradley, who made an improbable birdie on No. 18 while Fleetwood three-putted for bogey and signed for a 72. "I work really hard on making sure that I make it all into a positive," Fleetwood said. "Of course, I'm not going to feed you lies and say, 'Oh, Memphis I thought I did everything great,' or 'Travelers I didn't do anything wrong.' Of course I got things wrong down the stretch and it didn't happen for me. "But you just learn from those experiences, and I think the overriding, I guess, emotions are a lot of positives. I would rather you be questioning me about not finishing tournaments off than not questioning me at all about anything. So I've obviously shown a lot of really good stuff and put myself in great positions. "I've said every single time that I just want to put myself there again. I want to give myself another chance. I'll finish it off at some point. I'll get it right and I'll get it right more than once. But being there is actually the hard part in a way." He said the disappointments are motivation, and the positives -- the numerous great finishes, the fact that he's a lock for Europe's Ryder Cup team -- can serve as confidence boosters. Fleetwood will tee off Thursday with the same chance as the other 29 players in the field to win the Tour Championship and hoist the FedEx Cup. Gone is the staggered "starting strokes" format, which would have allowed World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler to start the week at 10 under and Fleetwood at 5 under. Four rounds of golf from now, the man with the lowest score is the winner of the tournament, the FedEx Cup and $10 million. What a time for Fleetwood's first PGA Tour win to come. "I'm not going to be picky about which one I choose to have as the first one. This one would be a good one," Fleetwood said. .".. But I think it would be pretty funny if I won this week and then got the FedEx Cup as well. I think that would be funny." --Field Level Media

McIlroy to play events that 'best fit' in 2026
Rory McIlroy says he will continue to take advantage of the "luxury" of picking his own tournament schedule, even if it means missing more signature events. The world number two is behind only American Scottie Scheffler in the FedEx Cup standings before this week's final PGA Tour event of the year at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta which, for the first time since 2019, will not see the season-long leaders benefit from starting strokes. The five-time major winner from Northern Ireland has been criticised this season for missing three signature events - he did not play the Memorial Tournament, The Sentry or the RBC Heritage - as well as the first event of the play-offs, the FedEx St Jude the 2025 PGA Tour season concludes this week, McIlroy still maintains DP World Tour commitments and will play in India and Australia, as well as at the Irish Open, before the end of the year. "I'll always look at the schedule at the start of the year and see what best fits me and my life, and everything else that I do with family or other opportunities that I'm pursuing outside of golf," he said."This year that meant skipping a few signature events. [Next year] I might skip less, I might skip the same amount."The luxury of being a PGA Tour player is we're free to pick and choose our own schedule for the most part. I took advantage of that this year and I'll continue to take advantage of that for as long as I can." The 2026 PGA Tour schedule was confirmed on Tuesday and featured the addition of a ninth signature Miami Championship will be played at Trump National Doral on 31 April-3 means that in the space of seven weeks in April and May there will be two majors - the Masters and US PGA Championship - and three signature events."I think it's all positive," said McIlroy of the schedule tweaks."Golf builds through the January, February, March months, gets a huge popularity spike through [the Masters at] Augusta and to try and keep that momentum going through the next few weeks, through the [US] PGA, through the US Open, I think is a good thing. "It's quite a workload for the players to play that much golf in that stretch but it's not as if we're having to travel halfway around the world to do it.
