PGA Tour FedEx Cup bonus to increase to $25bn

The PGA Tour says the FedEx Cup will return to a 36-event season in 2024 and the play-off champion will receive a record $25m (£19.5m) bonus.

The season will tee off in January and conclude in August, with 70 players advancing to the play-offs.

In June, the PGA Tour and DP World Tour agreed to a shock merger with Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund [PIF].

The $25m bonus is an increase from the $18m (£14m) that will be paid out to this year’s FedEx Cup champion.

In 2022, Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy became the first player to win the FedEx Cup three times after a remarkable last day at the PGA Tour’s Tour Championship.
