Based on the season-long points and the first two playoffs, the top 30 players compete for the FedEx Cup and a staggering prize pool. In this article, we will take a look at the Tour Championship 2022 purse and prize money payouts.

The third pace Will Zalatoris withdrew due to a back injury. The fourth place Xander Schauffele started with 6-under, 4 strokes off the top.
After half through the Third Round on Saturday, the play was suspended due to bad weather. The action will resume on Sunday before the beginning of the Final Round.
