2025 Tour Championship purse, payouts: How much is up for grabs at East Lake in the FedExCup Playoffs?
The last 30 golfers standing will hit the course this week at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta with the FedExCup on the line. With it comes a massive $40 million purse — a quarter of which will go to the winner come Sunday afternoon.
The purse is the largest on Tour each season, more than double that of what was offered at the British Open and PGA Championships. The U.S. Open had a $21.5 million purse to lead the major championships, just $500,000 more than what was offered at Augusta National. Outside of this limited playoff event, The Players Championship had a $25 million purse to lead the way in the sport.
The purse this week is so big that the top eight finishers will take home a seven-figure prize. Even the person who comes in last will earn $355,000. By comparison, Andrew Novak won just $70,000 for his last-place finish at the BMW Championship.
Scottie Scheffler, fresh off his fifth win of the season on Sunday at the BMW Championship, is entering the Tour Championship with a massive lead in the FedExCup standings. That, however, doesn't matter anymore after the PGA Tour opted to eliminate the starting strokes format for this final event. Scheffler and the 29 golfers will all start the week at even par, meaning the tournament is still up for grabs.
Scheffler, however, is undoubtedly the favorite. He has now won 12 times in the past two seasons on Tour, three of which have come at major championships, and he's finished inside the top 10 in every start he's made dating back to March. He's starting the week listed at +125 to win on BetMGM. If Scheffler can win this week, he'd be the first back-to-back winner in FedExCup history.
Here's how much is on the line this week for the 30 golfers in Atlanta.

LLWS: South Carolina rallies for stunning walk-off win after trailing 6-1 in final inning, stays alive for U.S. championship game
Facing elimination at the Little League World Series Wednesday night, South Carolina appeared to be done. But the team from the Columbia suburb of Irmo didn't quit after giving up five runs to South Dakota in the top of the extra seventh inning to dig a 6-1 deficit. South Carolina responded with six runs of its own in the bottom of seventh to secure a 7-6 walk-off win and stay alive in the LLWS. Now it's three wins away from a LLWS championship. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] South Carolina had to mount multiple rallies to advance. South Dakota held a 1-0 lead heading into the bottom of the sixth inning, the final half-inning of regulation. South Carolina was down to its final out with runners on first and second. A Ryder Tillitz line-drive single loaded the bases, but didn't score a run. But Jacob Gibson worked a full-count walk to secure the game-tying run, ultimately sending the game to extras tied at 1-1. [Complete Little League World Series results] There, chaos ensued. South Dakota scored a one-out run to take a 2-1 advantage before a Connor Felderman line drive for the second out. From there, South Dakota scored four two-out runs to seemingly take control of the game. But South Carolina scored three runs before recording its first out of the bottom of the seventh, cutting South Dakota's lead to 6-4 on a bases-loaded walk. Then, with one out, Brady Westbrooks secured another bases-loaded walk on five pitches to cut the deficit to 6-5, setting Andrew Bogan for his walk-off heroics. Bogan sent a 2-2 pitch down the right-field line that snuck just under the glove of diving right fielder Grayson Rehfeldt. Two runs scored, and the South Carolina benches cleared as players rushed to the field to celebrate the walk-off win. The stunning rally spelled heartbreak for South Dakota, whose LLWS is over with the elimination-game loss. South Carolina advances to another elimination game on Thursday against Las Vegas, Nevada. The winner of that game advances to face Fairfield, Connecticut for the U.S. championship. The winner between those two teams will advance to face the International winner for LLWS championship.

Tatis makes spectacular leaping catch to rob Devers of a home run
SAN DIEGO (AP) — San Diego Padres right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr. made a sensational leaping catch to rob San Francisco's Rafael Devers of a home run in the first inning on Wednesday night. The left-handed Devers lifted a high fly ball off left-hander JP Sears with one out. Tatis tracked it to his left, perfectly timed his leap and got his glove above the wall to make the catch. When he came back down, he landed on his backside and sat against the wall for a moment. He popped up and tossed the ball from his glove to his right hand and threw it in. Sears pointed and smiled at Tatis. Tatis then hit a leadoff double and scored on Ryan O'Hearn's two-out single. Devers hit one of the Giants' three home runs in the first inning Monday night in a 4-3 win. It was the latest home run robbery for Tatis, who took a two-run shot away from Mark Vientos of the New York Mets on July 28. Tatis began his career as a shortstop and was an All-Star in 2021. After missing the 2022 season with injuries and a PED suspension, he was moved to right field in 2023 and won both the NL Gold Glove Award and the Platinum Glove Award. ___ AP MLB:
