Cantlay conceded for his triumph at the end of the season at the East Lake Golf Club and the associated profit of the FedExCup rating a bonus of $ 15 million - the world's largest jackpot, which is distributed to a single professional athlete. It's fantastic. It feels like a great victory, and that was one too, said the Californian, who had already won at the BMW Championship in Baltimore in the previous week, after his sixth victory on the PGA Tour. I played really constant all year round and in the end I went hot.

In the special format of the tour final, Cantlay was already launched on Thursday with two blows ahead of Tony FINAU and three blows ahead of Bryson Dechambeau (all USA) started. Rahm went with four beats behind the final of the best 30 golfers of the US tour, but the catching hunt of the 26-year-old Spaniard did not reach. In total, the four million US dollars were distributed to the players in the FedExCup bonuses.

The Nordire Rory Mcilroy, who came to rank 14 with 14 beats, and US superstar Tiger Woods, who is not back after his heavy car accident in February, are the only players so far that the FedExcup rating could win twice.
