The 100 million FedExCup payouts changing significantly.
00:05
I'm quoting from an article that Sean Zach wrote for Golf.com summarizing it.
00:10
So just main points, total bonus pool remains at 100 million.
00:13
No one's getting paid any less.
00:15
It's just they're paying it out at different times.
00:18
So a total of the headline in his article here, regular season matters the most.
00:23
A total of 20 million will be split among the top 10 players in the FedExCup
00:27
at the conclusion of their regular season.
00:30
Which I guess is like almost layering on a bonus to the Comcast business tour
00:34
for all intents and purposes.
00:37
There are payouts for positioning after each of the playoff events.
00:43
So like there's an additional 23 million that gets paid out after the BMW
00:47
championship based on standings there.
00:49
And then the winner at Eastlake rather than winning, I guess it was the 25 or
00:55
$30 million winner's share last year.
00:58
We'll win just $10 million for that week.
01:00
Second place was $5 million, so on and so forth.
01:03
It's essentially a $40 million purse for the tour championship now.
01:09
So face value, do we like this change?
01:13
What do you think about this change?
01:15
Well, it's kind of what we expected to happen.
01:18
I'm just surprised it took a while for it to be rolled out.
01:21
You would have thought this whole thing would have been rolled out when the tour
01:24
championship was announced in the new format.
01:27
So it definitely explains a lot because it definitely maybe keeps a player like
01:30
Scotty Sheffler or Rory McRoy or name another top four or five player on the
01:37
FedEx Cup points to to maybe want to play Memphis and BMW.
01:42
They still might be able to get away with it with how far ahead they are.
01:46
But got to remember, points are like quadrupled at the playoffs.
01:49
So things definitely can get a little dicey when it comes to those top spots and how much
01:54
money is on the line.
01:55
Not to say these guys haven't made a jillion dollars this year, but it is another factor
02:00
for these guys to play.
02:02
Rory's been rumored to not want to play Memphis this year.
02:05
Um, golf course that he doesn't necessarily like it's hot.
02:08
Um, so I don't expect to see Rory there this year, but, uh, I would assume that
02:14
Scotty will play, um, would have to think he'll play right.
