 divided between those who take part - and Viktor Hovland emerged victorious Viktor Hovland claimed the biggest prize winnings of the PGA Tour season when he won the FedEx Cup - with the top eight players each receiving over a million dollars. Hovland held his nerve to finish 27 under in the Tour Championship, edging out American duo Xander Schauffele and Wyndham Clark. The Nowegian took home $18 million (£14.3m) for his troubles, ensuring he ends the 2023 year on a high and continues his scintillating form ahead of the Ryder Cup. The total FedEx Cup prize money for the 2023 PGA Tour season was an eye-watering $75 million (£60m). The structure was the same as the 2022 season, which saw Rory McIlroy - who came fourth in 2023 - take home the blockbuster winners cheque following an epic victory at East Lake. This year's FedEx Cup Playoffs worked slightly differently. Only 70 players reached the PGA Tour post-season instead of the usual 125, with three events contested to determine the 2023 champion, with Hovland emerging victorious. Remarkably, the lucrative bonuses awarded at the FedEx Cup do not end with the playoffs. Before the playoffs kicked off, bonuses were awarded for the top 10 players in the standings via the Comcast Bonus Tour, with Jon Rahm receiving $4 million (£3m) from a $20 million (£16m) bonus pool. Hovland claimed $1.4 million (£1.1m) from the Bonus Tour, but the more impressive winnings arrived in the form of the FedEx Cup. Here are the final top 30 standings in the 2023 FedEx Cup and how much each star took home: 1st: Viktor Hovland - $18 million (£14.3m) 2nd: Xander Schauffele - $6.5 million (£5.2m) 3rd: Wyndham Clark - $5 million (£4m) 4th: Rory McIlroy - $4 million (£3.2m) 5th: Patrick Cantlay - $3 million (£2.4m) T6th: Tommy Fleetwood, Scottie Scheffler, Collin Morikawa - $2 million (£1.6m) T9th: Sam Burns, Matt Fitzpatrick, Max Homa, Adam Schenk, Keegan B){kind=link}
