The PGA Tour regular season may be over, but big-time paydays rolled into the postseason starting this weekend at the 2025 FedEx St. Jude Championship. Flashing a purse of $20 million that rewarded tournament champion Justin Rose with a $3.6 million check, the St. Jude Championship at TPC Southwind dished out prizes similar to those in the PGA Tour’s signature events.
Unlike 2024 where Scottie Scheffler cashed half of those paychecks, the 2025 signature events saw eight different players walk into the winner’s circle. Beginning with Hideki Matsuyama in the first week of the season and finishing with Keegan Bradley in June, the signature events’ big prize funds were far better distributed amongst some of the best players on the PGA Tour this year.
Here are your eight winners from signature events in 2025:
- The Sentry: Hideki Matsuyama ($3.6 million)
- Pebble Beach Pro Am: Rory McIlroy ($3.6 million)
- Genesis Invitational: Ludvig Åberg ($4 million)
- Arnold Palmer Invitational: Russell Henley ($4 million)
- RBC Heritage: Justin Thomas ($3.6 million)
- Truist Championship: Sepp Straka ($3.6 million)
- The Memorial Tournament: Scottie Scheffler ($4 million)
- Travelers Championship: Keegan Bradley ($3.6 million)
Rose not the only player who is being rewarded handsomely for his play as those inside the top 11 will all find more than $500,000 hit their back accounts. Everyone inside the top 23 made more than $200,000, while even the player who finished in last collected a shade over $40,000.
Even outside of whatever check gets cashed Sunday evening, the top 50 players in the FedEx Cup standings at the conclusion of play in Memphis qualified for all 2026 signature events while moving on to next week’s BMW Championship where they will play for another significant purse and the chance to advance to the Tour Championship final. In other words, how these players finished at TPC Southwind was worth a lot more than the figure that will be deposited into their bank.
Let’s take a look at the payout list for the 69 players who in attendance at the 2025 St. Jude Championship.
