Keegan Bradley and Adam Scott were both playing for their playoff lives this week.
Bradley was the last man in the field for this week’s BMW Championship at 50th in the FedEx Cup standings while Scott was No. 41 in the rankings with only the Top 30 advancing to East Lake for next week’s Tour Championship. But both players summoned their best games in Colorado to punch their tickets, with Bradley winning to vault to fourth in the standings, and Scott finishing T2 to move to 14th.
While points will be the big takeaway for position next week at East Lake, you’ll hear an awful lot about money over the next couple weeks.
In addition to each of the two initial Playoff events carrying $20 million purses, making it to the top 30 and the Tour Championship field means access to the FedEx Cup bonus pool. The Tour Championship has no separate purse, but the winner will get $25 million for himself.
Even 10th place will get $1.75 million. That’s more than the third-place finisher this week.
But, players still needed to avoid being one of the 20 that got sent home from the Playoffs this week.
With that, here is the complete payout breakdown for this week’s BMW Championship, played at Castle Pines Golf Club. The total purse is $20 million.
