The second of the FedExCup Playoffs is being played at Bellerive in Missouri, and it's make-or-break time for players battling for a place in the Tour Championship.
The last of the Playoffs, which comes from East Lake, will feature just the top 30 in the FedExCup standings following the BMW Championship.
At the start of the week, 50 players were in the field at Bellerive, with the likes of Justin Thomas, Patrick Cantlay, Robert MacIntyre and Aaron Rai among the big names in danger of missing the FedExCup finale.
While the stakes are understandably high given the prestige and $40m purse that will be available in the final event of the Playoffs, there is some serious money on the table in Missouri this week, too.
In total, $20m will be available at the event, the same figure that was offered at the opening tournament of the Playoffs, the FedEx St. Jude Championship.
As a no-cut event, every player who completes all four rounds will earn prize money, making it one of the most lucrative tournaments of the PGA Tour season.
The winner will earn $3.6m, the same figure Scottie Scheffler banked last year, after he saw off the challenge of MacIntyre by two.
Any player finishing solo second will also earn a big payout, with $2.16m going to the runner-up - more than the winner earns at this week's LIV Golf Louisiana, which had its prize money dramatically reduced ahead of the event.
With just one round to play of the BMW Championship, Wyndham Clark had taken control of proceedings, leading by five as he closed in on his third win of the season and the $3.6m first prize.
Even for those with no realistic chance of making an impact towards the top of the leaderboard on Sunday, substantial payouts will be made. For example, the player finishing bottom of the leaderboard will receive a check for $66,000.
Below is the prize money payout for each position at the BMW Championship, before taking into account ties and how much each golfer will really see due to a variety of factors.
