BMW Championship prize money 2026: How much they're playing for at Bellerive
BMW Championship prize money 2026: Check out how much cash is on the line in St. Louis for the second leg of the PGA Tour's play-offs.
The PGA Tour heads to St. Louis for the second leg of the FedEx Cup play-offs.
Only the top 50 in the season-long points race have a tee time at Bellerive Country Club.
Scottie Scheffler currently leads the way and is looking increasingly likely to win the FedEx Cup title for the second time in his career after securing a dominant win at the FedEx St. Jude Championship.
The world number one, 30, entered the final round at TPC Southwind last Sunday with a two-stroke advantage but won by eight - 25 strokes clear of Rory McIlroy.
The Northern Irishman told reporters he felt "lost" as he toiled to a 66th place finish.
Scheffler scooped a cool $3,600,000 for landing his 21st PGA Tour title and this week's champion can expect the same amount of prize money.
