FedEx St. Jude Payout: How much money, Cup points did Hideki Matsuyama, the field win at 1st playoff event

Matsuyama overcame a lot of adversity to win the PGA Tour’s FedEx St. Jude Championship. How much did he and whole the field make?

The FedEx St. Jude Championship is over, and the Top 50 will head to Colorado for the second PGA Tour playoff event.

Hideki Matsuyama won by two shots to claim his second victory on the PGA Tour in 2024. He made two clutch birdies at 17 and 18 to ward off Xander Schauffele and Viktor Hovland.

There was plenty of drama Sunday at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, as he went 4-over through holes 12-15. However, he had too many holes left to give up his victory. Those mishaps were not enough to unravel him completely.

Matsuyama’s putting was excellent all week, and it helped him earn his 10th career PGA Tour victory when it mattered most.

Let’s look at how much money and FedEx Cup points the field earned in Memphis.

The FedEx St. Jude Championship Payout

The FedEx St. Jude Championship purse is $20 million.

Matsuyama earned $3,600,000 for this victory and 2000 FedEx Cup points. He will likely move from No. 8 in the FedEx Cup standings to No. 3.

Schauffele and Hovland tied for second with 15-under overall scores. The former Oklahoma State Cowboy needed a strong run in Memphis to even make the BMW Championship and will likely make a 41-spot jump to No. 16.

They both made $1,760,000. Nick Dunlap finished up tied fifth with Sam Burns, making $760,000. The standings project Dunlap to move inside the Top 50 as well.

Here is how the rest of the field finished, how much each player made, and their FedEx Cup points.
