Wyndham Championship payouts are adding another layer of drama to the final event of the 2026 regular PGA Tour season. With an $8.5 million purse available at Sedgefield Country Club, Sunday’s winner will collect a substantial $1.53 million check.
The Wyndham Championship concludes on August 9 in Greensboro, North Carolina, with more than prize money at stake. The tournament will also determine the final 70 players who qualify for the opening event of the FedEx Cup playoffs, the FedEx St. Jude Championship.
Wyndham Championship payouts put $1.53 million at stake
Michael Brennan and Beau Hossler share the 54-hole lead at 16 under par. Their position gives both players an opportunity to claim the title, secure a major payday and improve their standing heading into the 2027 season.
The leaders face a crowded chase. Ten players are within five shots of the lead, and Sedgefield has produced exceptionally low scores throughout the week. Hossler opened with a 61, while three players have recorded rounds of 62 and four others have posted 63s.
That scoring pace means the final round could produce major movement on the leaderboard. Every birdie may affect not only the championship outcome but also the distribution of the Wyndham Championship prize money.
