    The largest prize fund in professional golf is at stake this week as the 2024 Tour Championship begins at East Lake Golf Club. With the top 30 players from the PGA Tour vying for their slice of the $100 million FedEx Cup bonus pool -- up $25 million from last year -- competitors will have the chance to see jaw-dropping figures hit their back accounts by week's end.

    Signature events and the first two playoff events boasted a total purse of $20 million, which amounts to $5 million less than what this week's eventual winner will take home. Increasing $7 million compared to the last two seasons, the winner's share represents the largest in PGA Tour history and a $10 million increase compared to 2019 -- the first year of the staggered start format.

    Scottie Scheffler is the lone man to surpass $25 million in earnings this season as he won the Masters, Players Championship and four signature events -- six of the largest paydays of the year. Xander Schauffele nearly clipped $20 million himself thanks to two major victories, while Hideki Matsuyama, Wyndham Clark and Rory McIlroy round out those to earn more than eight figures in 2024.

    A top-five finish will guarantee players at least a $5 million payday, while those inside the top 12 with all see seven figures next to their names. Everyone in the field will earn at least a half million dollars for qualifying for the Tour Championship.

    Let's take a look at the payout list for the 30 players who will be in attendance at the 2024 Tour Championship. The other 40 players who initially qualified for the FedEx Cup Playoffs will split the remaining $17.05 million.
