Okay, so I was trying to figure out how much the winner of the BMW Championship gets. You know, that golf tournament that’s part of the FedEx Cup Playoffs? I thought I’d just do a quick search and find out.

First, I fired up my browser and typed in something like “BMW Championship prize money”. I figured that would give me a general idea.
I got a bunch of results. I skimmed through a few, looking for a reliable source. There were articles from sports websites and some golf-specific ones, too.
I noticed that the total purse was pretty huge, a lot of million dollars! But I wanted to know the exact amount for the winner. Some sites listed the breakdown for all the players, while others focused on the champion’s share.

I started looking at those results that focused on the champion amount.
I realized the total prize money is not always the same, and the champion’s amount is always related to it.

So, it took me some time, but I could say for sure the exact prize money for the BMW Championship winner because it depends on the total purse for that year’s event!
