Tournament Awards for the 2025 Wyndham Championship
The Wyndham Championship, set to take place at Sedgefield Country Club's Ross Course in Greensboro, North Carolina, is more than just a standalone tournament. With a total prize purse of $8.2 million, it serves as the final regular-season event for the FedEx Cup points standings.
This prestigious event, which has been the host of the Wyndham Championship since 2008 and also hosted the first tournament in 1938, has seen some historic moments. In 2018, Brandt Snedeker shot the 10th 59 in PGA Tour history and the third with a bogey on the card, en route to winning his second Wyndham Championship title.
The course, set up as a 7,131-yard par 70, determines who qualifies and who misses out for the FedEx Cup. The top 70 players on the season-long FedEx Cup points list after the Wyndham Championship qualify for the FedEx St. Jude Championship, the first playoff event of the FedEx Cup Playoffs.
The qualification criteria are clear. Players ranked in the top 70 in FedEx Cup points after the Wyndham Championship move on to the FedEx St. Jude Championship. The points players have accumulated during the regular PGA Tour season, including at the Wyndham Championship, carry over into the playoffs, so their rank entering the playoffs is their official season-ending rank.
After the Wyndham Championship sets this crucial cutoff, the FedEx Cup Playoffs proceed as follows: Top 70 from Wyndham Championship to FedEx St. Jude, Top 50 from FedEx St. Jude to BMW Championship, and Top 30 from BMW Championship to the Tour Championship. No cuts occur during the playoff events themselves, and points for playoff events are worth significantly more than regular events.
Everyone inside the top-21 at the Wyndham Championship is likely to earn over six figures. The winner of the Wyndham Championship will receive $1,476,000, while the runner-up will receive just under $900,000.
The current champion of the Wyndham Championship is Aaron Rai, but the spotlight will soon shift to the next contender. The PGA Tour's FedEx Cup will take place in August, with the Wyndham Championship setting the stage for a genuine run at the Playoffs. Lifting the Wyndham Championship trophy not only brings personal glory but also opens the door to a potential FedEx Cup victory.
In the heart of the PGA Tour season, the Wyndham Championship serves as a crucial milestone for golfers, as it determines who qualifies for the FedEx Cup Playoffs. historical moments have transpired on the courses, such as Brandt Snedeker's record-breaking 59 in 2018 at the Sedgefield Country Club's Ross Course.
