Justin Thomas will take home $ 2 million at the 2020 Wyndham Championship despite not playing

Justin Thomas won’t hit a shot at the Wyndham Championship this weekend, but he’ll take home $ 2 million after the event regardless. This is because Thomas is first in the Wyndham Rewards Top 10 and cannot be caught by anyone in the field this week, even if they win the final event of the regular season.

Wyndham Rewards is a one-year competition where the top 10 FedEx Cup point winners all receive a year-end bonus for the regular season. This is a $ 10 million prize pool and the top prize is $ 2 million, which is bigger than any other takeaway winner this year. And JT doesn’t even need to take a hit this week.

Thomas is the only PGA Tour player with three wins, and he also has nine top 10s in just 15 starts. Lead Collin Morikawa with 556 FedEx Cup points and Webb Simpson (who will play this week) with 714.

Here’s a look at the top 10.

1. Justin Thomas (2,458 points)
2. Collin Morikawa (1,902)
3. Webb Simpson (1,744)
4. Bryson DeChambeau (1,657)
5. Sungjae Im (1,561)
6. Patrick Reed (1,353)
7. Daniel Berger (1,347)
8. Rory McIlroy (1,327)
9. Brendon Todd (1,316)
10. Jon Rahm (1,295)

The top five all receive at least $ 1 million and all board members receive at least $ 500,000. There are some interesting names just off the top 10 that could beat Rahm from 10th place. Lanto Griffin, Abraham Ancer, Sebastian Munoz, Adam Long, Harris Engoish and Joqauin Niemann are among them.

Last year, Brooks Koepka won the $ 2 million Wyndham Rewards grand prize for best player of the PGA Tour regular season. This is only the second year for the award, which was created to give more weight to how players performed in the regular season, as well as huge FedEx Cup bonus payouts at the end of the playoffs.
