The FedEx St. Jude Championship 2023: Purse, Prize Money, and Payout

The FedEx St. Jude Championship was actually founded in 1967 as the Westchester Classic. In 2007, it became the first tournament in the playoffs system for the FedEx Cup. Due to the numerous sponsors, the tournament has had many name changes over the years. It has also been known as the Northern Trust, The Barclays, and Buick Classic.

This year, only the top 70 players advanced to the playoffs, making it one of the most competitive fields ever. While the tournament was mainly hosted at Westchester Country Club in New York, once it became a playoff tournament the venue changed.

For the second year in a row, it will be hosted at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee.

Now, that the field has been cut down to 70, every player in the field will be taking a piece of the purse home in Memphis. Since it’s the playoffs, no players will be cut throughout the four rounds. Instead, at the end of the week, the bottom 20 will be sent home and will not move on to the BMW Championship.

On Sunday, the last-place player will still take home $40,000. Meanwhile, the winner of the tournament will be taking home the standard 18% winner’s share, valued at $3.6 million, to go along with 2,000 FedEx Cup points.
