BMW Championship 2026: Top 50 players who qualified for second playoff event
Here's a look at the top 50 players in FedExCup points who earned a spot in the second playoff event in St. Louis.
The BMW Championship 2026 begins at Bellerive Country Club in Missouri, continuing the FedExCup Playoffs week. Fifty players who topped the FedExSt. Jude Championship's point standings secured a spot in this crucial event. Qualifying for the second of three playoff tournaments is significant, as it guarantees entry into the eight signature events in 2027 and maintains competitors' chances for the $40 million Tour Championship.
The BMW Championship purse stands at $20 million, with the winner receiving $3.6 million, and no cut for last place, which earns at least $66,000. The PGA Tour will distribute nearly $100 million in bonus money after the second playoff event, with second place earning $12 million (and $1 million deferred), and Nos. 41-50 picking up $50,000 cash and over $225K in deferrals.
Even players finishing in 51-125 positions earn between $195,000 to $100,000. The full payout from FedExCup bonus money amounts to $100 million.
