The final tournament of the regular PGA Tour season comes from Sedgefield Country Club in North Carolina, where players compete for the final chance to improve their FedEx Cup standings ahead of the first of the Playoffs, the FedEx St. Jude Championship, which takes place next week.
The top 70 players in the FedEx Cup standings after this week's event qualify for the opening tournament in the Playoffs and, considering that in 2023 the final Playoff event, the Tour Championship, handed $18m to winner Viktor Hovland, it’s not surprising that various players hovering around 70th in the standings are committed to this week’s action as they look to secure their places.
As well as the prestige of lifting the FedEx Cup and banking such a huge sum in just three weeks, there is the immediate financial incentive of $7.9m to play for this week, with $1.422m going to the victor. That’s $300,000 more than in 2023, when Lucas Glover overcame the challenges of Byeong Hun An and Russell Henley to take the title and a check for $1.368m.
This year’s winner will claim 500 FedEx Cup points to boost their standing, while there are also world ranking points on offer.
Below is the prize money payout for the 2024 Wyndham Championship.

Who Are The Star Names In The Wyndham Championship?
Lucas Glover won the 2023 Wyndham Championship
Arguably the biggest name in the field is three-time Major winner Jordan Spieth, who sits 63rd in the FedEx Cup standings after a relatively disappointing season that has seen him drop to 37th in the world rankings.
He’ll be looking for a confidence-boosting performance ahead of the FedEx St. Jude Championship, where he will need to climb inside the top 50 of the FedEx Cup standings to guarantee his entry into the 2025 signature events.
Lucas Glover is the defending champion after his two-shot win in 2023, the first of back-to-back wins that brought him into the conversation over whether he would qualify for a Team USA Ryder Cup wildcard. In the end, he was overlooked and this year faces a battle to even qualify for the Playoffs as he stands 76th in the table.
The highest-ranked player in the field is 2024 open champion Brian Harman, who is 15th in the world, while Robert MacIntyre, who has two wins this season, is one place beneath Harman in the world rankings and 17th in the FedEx Cup standings.
Other big names competing this week include two-time PGA Tour winner Sungjae Im and Team USA Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley.
Overall, 18 players who competed in the Olympics at Le Golf National are in the field, including Shane Lowry, who has no issues over FedEx Cup qualification as he sits 10th in the standings. Another Olympian battling to secure his place is Frenchman Victor Perez, who is currently one place beneath the cut-off in 71st.
Other players in and around the cut-off include 3M Open winner Jhonattan Vegas and 2023 Arnold Palmer Invitational victor Kurt Kitayama.
As well as Glover, other former champions in the field include Kevin Kisner and Jim Herman.
Where Is The Wyndham Championship?
The tournament is played at Sedgefield Country Club in North Carolina, a private course designed by Donald Ross. Ieatures the small, undulating greens he is known for, while it has hosted the event since 2008.
Is Jordan Spieth Playing In The Wyndham Championship?
Jordan Spieth is one of the 156-player field for the tournament. He currently stands 63rd in the FedEx Cup standings and has work to do if he is to make it to the second FedEx Cup Playoff, the BMW Championship, and guarantee his place in the 2025 signature events on the PGA Tour.
