Viktor Hovland takes home $18,000,000 after winning 2023 TOUR Championship and FedEx Cup: Full individual prize money payout explored
Norway's Viktor Hovland finished the best season of his career in style, winning the TOUR Championship and, therefore, the FedEx Cup on Sunday, August 27. And the icing on the cake is the $18,000,000 he takes home as prize money.
By winning the FedEx Cup, Hovland has more than doubled his earnings for the entire season. By the end of the BMW Championship, the Norwegian had earned $14,112,235.
There were significant sums on offer for the rest of the field at the TOUR Championship as well. Xander Schauffele (finished second) received $6.5 million while Wyndham Clark (finished third) earned $5 million.
Due to ties, all players finishing in the top-six earned seven-figure amounts, while the minimum payout from the event was $505,000 for Taylor Moore and Emiliano Grillo (finished T29).
This is a payday that transcends the TOUR Championship field. As the final day of the FedEx Cup, prizes are officially awarded to the remaining players with a spot in the 2023 FedEx Cup final rankings. Hence, players ranked 31st through 150th, although not in Atlanta, will also receive a check. Sahith Theegala (31st) will receive $250,000, while Ryan Moore (150th) will receive $85,000.
