The FedEx Cup Playoffs is a “war of words” in which the winner of the final Tour Championship takes home $18 million in bonus prize money.
If you don’t qualify for the Tour Championship, you lose your chance to challenge for the championship bonus prize.
In addition to the bonus prize money, there are many benefits, such as the right to qualify for major tournaments such as the Masters and the right to qualify for special tournaments without a cut-off. In effect, it’s a token of being treated like a PGA Tour player.
Si Woo Kim, who entered the first round of the PO tied for 16th place (9-under-par 271) in FedEx points, moving up one spot in the FedEx Cup standings and effectively securing his spot as Tour Champion.

43-year-old veteran Lucas Glover (USA) shot a total of 15-under-par 265 to win after overtime with Patrick Cantlay (USA), who finished the regular round.
After winning the Wyndham Championship in the final event of the regular season and dramatically advancing to the playoffs, Glover continued his meteoric run by dominating Game 1 of the playoffs.
His pre-Wyndham Championship ranking rose from 112th to 49th with a win and 4th at the end of the first round, increasing his chances of winning $18 million in bonus prize money.
