Tommy Fleetwood lands maiden PGA win – FedEx Tour Championship prize money revealed

Tommy Fleetwood finally broke through on American soil, capturing the Tour Championship and a huge $10million cheque with a winning score of 18 under par at East Lake.

For years, Fleetwood has been among the game’s most consistent players, amassing six runner-up finishes and 42 top-10s on the PGA Tour without crossing the line.

On this occasion, he held off Patrick Cantlay, who pushed him deep into Sunday’s back nine before Fleetwood closed it out in style.

The win not only delivers his maiden PGA Tour title but also secures the enormous $10million first-place prize – the richest single payday on the circuit.

The Englishman’s victory is significant beyond the bank balance; it cements his standing as one of Europe’s most reliable players heading into the Ryder Cup.

For Fleetwood, long admired for his ball-striking and temperament, this win provides both validation and momentum at exactly the right time.

Keegan Bradley is firmly one of the 12 best American golfers at the moment

Keegan Bradley signed off at the Tour Championship with a sharp 13 under par for the week, finishing T7 and taking home $1.12million at East Lake – reminding everyone how well he’s playing in 2025.

An event winner this season, Bradley’s all-around game has returned to the level that once made him a Major champion.

His steady driving and confident putting over the weekend capped off a year full of highlights, and what makes his performance especially interesting is his position as USA Ryder Cup captain.

Bradley is leading the American team, but his current form has sparked debate about whether he should also play himself.
Captains rarely take that step, yet Bradley’s season has put him firmly among the top 12 Americans on merit.

Experience, passion, and momentum are all in his corner. His showing at East Lake was another reminder that he belongs at the very heart of the Team USA effort at Bethpage Black.

Skipping the FedEx St. Jude Championship may not have aided Rory McIlroy

Rory McIlroy endured a lacklustre week at the Tour Championship, closing at six under par and T23 after never finding top gear.

Two rounds in the 70s were far below the Master champion’s high standards, and while his driving remained strong, his iron play and putting let him down when it mattered.

Opportunities slipped away, and a Sunday rally never materialised.

For Europe, McIlroy’s form may be a slight concern heading into the Ryder Cup.

As one of the team’s most experienced figures, he is expected to provide both leadership and points.
McIlroy has rebounded from dips before, and the competitive fire remains intact.

But with September and Bethpage Black fast approaching, he’ll need to sharpen up if he wants to help Europe defend their crown.

The biggest payday on the PGA Tour

With a $40million purse on offer at East Lake, Sunday charges meant huge financial swings for several players.

Corey Conners produced the round of the day, a stunning eight under par fourth round that vaulted him into a tie for fourth and a payday of $2.61million.

2023 Tour Championship winner Viktor Hovland wasn’t far behind, closing with a seven under par to climb to 12th and secure $660K.

Cam Young also surged, carding four under par to reach a share of fourth and collect $2.61million.

On a week where every position counted, these moves highlighted how one great Sunday can transform a season – and a bank balance.
