PGA Tour money leaders: Scottie Scheffler finishes as the regular-season cash champion

The upper echelon of the PGA Tour money list didn’t change much at the Wyndham Championship, mainly because No. 7 Ben Griffin, No. 9 Keegan Bradley, No. 12 Andrew Novak, No. 16 Robert MacIntyre, No. 17 Hideki Matsuyama, No. 25 Lucas Glover, No. 26 Sungjae Im and No. 28 Sam Stevens were the only players among the top 30 in the field.

And their presence didn’t shake things up. Griffin tied for 11^th,. MacIntyre tied for 41^st, and Matsuyama for 29^th and all held their positions.

Bradley, Novak, Glover and Stevens missed the cut.

The only change was Im tying for 27^th and jumping Glover to 26^th and bumping Stevens down a spot.

But there was a lot of movement behind them, starting with winner Cameron Young vaulting from 40^th to 21s with his $1,476,000 first-place check. Runner-up Mac Meissner experienced even more of a jump, with his $893,800 check for solo second sending him soaring to 87^th from 150^th and enabling him to become one of the Tour’s latest millionaires, based on on-course earnings this season.

How many PGA Tour millionaires are there for the season?

There are 115 players on the PGA Tour who have earned at least $1 million in on-course earnings.

Here are the other milestones:

• $2 million or more: 71 players.

• $3 million or more: 47 players.

• $4 million or more: 29 players.

• $5 million or more: 18 players.

• $6 million or more: 15 players.

• $7 million or more: Nine players.

• $8 million or more: Seven players.

• $9 million or more: Six players.

It’s only been 37 years since the first PGA Tour player earned more than $1 million in a season, Curtis Strange.

FedEx Cup Playoffs will offer more cash

Now comes the FedEx Cup Playoffs. The FedEx St. Jude Championship, which begins on Aug. 7 at TPC Southwind near Memphis, and the BMW Championship the following week at Caves Valley near Baltimore, are the final two official-money events of the season, with a $20 million purse and $3.6 million for the winner.

The Tour Championship bonus pool, with the winner at East Lake in Atlanta Aug. 21-24 getting $10 million, does not count for official money.

But the bank will gladly deposit that check.
