The 2025 Truist Championship offered an entirely new test for the PGA Tour with the event, formerly known as the Wells Fargo, moving from Quail Hollow to the unknown Philadelphia Cricket Club's Wissahickon Course with the former hosting next week's PGA Championship. Thus, we all wondered what would play out. It turns out, we should've expected drama on the leaderboard between Shane Lowry, Sepp Straka and several others.
Keith Mitchell jumped out to the first-round lead and held strong at the top of the leaderboard going into the weekend. Unfortunately, he faded over the third round while Lowry and Straka were trading blows atop of it. That put the pair three strokes clear of the rest of the field heading into Sunday's final round. However, with Philadelphia Cricket Club getting more difficult with each passing day of the Truist Championship, there was still plenty of drama in order.
More importantly, though, with this being a signature event, players were also jockeying for as much of the prize money and as many FedEx Cup points as possible. So let's take a look at the Truist Championship payout information with the winner's share of the purse, the Fedex Cup points allotment for the tournament, and much more.
Truist Championship purse 2025: Winner's prize money, total purse
The winner of the 2025 Truist Championship will receive a payout of $3.6 million in prize money from the $20 million total purse available at signature events on the PGA Tour. What we don't always see is that type of money awarded on a golf course that we don't see regularly. We haven't seen Philadelphia Cricket Club on the PGA Tour, as mentioned, so it's rare that we see players get tested by a new venue and get rewarded so handsomely for succeeding in that.

We've grown a bit familiar with the payout structure for signature events but it's still impressive to see the prize money awarded in these elevated events. It's not just the winner's share but also that all of the top three finishers clear $1 million and fourth place isn't far behind. Even further down the leaderboard — way further down — you can see how the payouts affect the players who make it into the field.
In a standard PGA Tour event, players who make the cut but finish near last among the players to do so would be lucky to clear $20,000 in prize money. Seeing the last-place finisher at the Truist Championship come through with nearly double what they would see in other instances is absolutely absurd.

One wild notion regarding FedEx Cup points at signature events like the Truist Championship is that there is actually a higher allotment for these events than in major championships. While the winners of both receive the whopping 700 points in the season-long standings. However, every finishing position thereafter earns more points than they would in a major.
That's why getting into these signature events can be so huge. Obviously the money is great, but what it cam mean for the FedEx Cup points that are awarded and for potentially getting into the playoffs at the end of the season is even more important long term.
