The list moves in blocks of four because the money does. Collin Morikawa, Justin Rose, Sahith Theegala, Tommy Fleetwood are level on $2,812,500, and nobody on a team can finish a season a dollar apart from a teammate. What separates the players here is the team they were drafted to, which is worth knowing before reading anything into a rank.

6th 7.1% $375,000 $1,500,000$1.5m

The ladder is steep at the top and nearly flat below it. Winning doubles a finalist's money, and the champions take more than the four teams behind the final put together. From third down to sixth the whole spread is $750,000, which is $187,500 a player.

What each match is worth

The gap between the two places a result decides

Per team and per player

Result Per player Per team
Winning the final $1,125,000 $4,500,000$4.5m
Winning a semi-final $625,000 $2,500,000$2.5m
Making the playoffs $62,500 $250,000
Fifth rather than sixth $62,500 $250,000

The final is the one match that changes a player's year. It is worth $1,125,000 to each of the four winners, more than a player on a team that misses the playoffs takes from a whole season. A semi-final win is worth $2,250,000 to a team that would have been placed third had it lost, and $2,500,000 to one that would have been fourth, which is the figure in the table. Every place the regular season settles on its own is worth $250,000 to a team, or $62,500 a player.
