How much did Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth earn at the FedEx Cup?

Thomas and Spieth both played at the Tour Championship this year. However, their performance was not as good as McIlroy’s! Justin Thomas tied with Max Homa at the fifth place which had an award of $3,000,000. Since they were tied, Thomas and Homa pocketed $2.75 million each from the tournament. While Jordan Spieth tied at 13th place with Aaron Wise and took home $825,000 from the event.

The purse for this year’s Tour Championship was set to be $75 million, while the winner of the tournament, Rory McIlroy took home $18 million. The prize pool of the tournament was a little less than the total purse of the Players Championship, Masters, PGA Championship, U.S. Open, and The Open altogether.

Coming in second place were Sungjae Im and Scottie Scheffler, both receiving $5.75 million each. While Xander Schauffele came fourth and earned $4 million from the Championship. The most surprising name which was not in the top 10 players was Cameron Smith, coming in 20th place and earning $640,000.

Thomas shared his plans to win the Tour Championship

Before the third round, Thomas shared his master plan to win the championship. The golfer sounded pretty confident about his game in the first two rounds while talking in his interview. He said, “I did my part, which is all I can ask…I absolutely love this golf course.” Thomas was pretty sure that his game was beautiful the day before.

He stated, “I played beautifully yesterday, didn’t miss a shot today…I did what I needed to do”. Unfortunately, it was not Thomas’ day to claim victory over the FedEx Cup title this year. However, he still poses great competition to most golfers on the PGA Tour as well as all the major tournaments.
