Justin Rose rose to the occasion in the first leg of the 2025 FedEx Cup Playoffs, taking home not only the St. Jude Championship crown but a whopping $3.6 million winner’s check as well. That same winner’s prize will be on the line this week as part of a $20 million purse that will be divided amongst 49 of the top 50 players in the FedEx Cup standings.
That is the field size set for the 2025 BMW Championships at Caves Valley Golf Club after Sepp Straka withdrew his name for personal reasons. As such, it is the second straight week that a FedEx Cup Playoffs event has an incomplete field after Rory McIlroy skipped the St. Jude for rest.
Last year, it was Keegan Bradley who took home the BMW Championship, and the U.S. Ryder Cup captain is all-in this week as the team’s qualification process ends following the completion of play in Baltimore. Bradley won the Travelers Championship back in June, collecting a $3.6 million winner’s prize — the standard for signature events on the PGA Tour.
While seven-figure payouts are up for grabs among those who finish inside the top three, six-figure sums will be dished out to all of those players who finish inside the top 40. Everyone inside the top 19 will clear $300,000, while everyone inside the top 11 will make more than a half million for a week’s work in Owings Mills, Maryland.
Here’s the full slate of big-money winners from the PGA Tour in 2025:
- The Sentry: Hideki Matsuyama ($3.6 million)
- Pebble Beach Pro Am: Rory McIlroy ($3.6 million)
- Genesis Invitational: Ludvig Åberg ($4 million)
- Arnold Palmer Invitational: Russell Henley ($4 million)
- The Players Championship: Rory McIlroy ($4.5 million)
- RBC Heritage: Justin Thomas ($3.6 million)
- Truist Championship: Sepp Straka ($3.6 million)
- The Memorial Tournament: Scottie Scheffler ($4 million)
- Travelers Championship: Keegan Bradley ($3.6 million)
- St. Jude Championship: Justin Rose ($3.6 million)
