»» Players #1 thru #18 ........ JUST WIN, BABY! »» Players #19 thru #29 Combination of winning Tour Championship (5,000 pts) -AND- Both Chris Kirk and Billy Horschel finishing no better than a two-way tie for 2nd (2,425 pts) NOTE ... Either #30 Dustin Johnson, if he had been able to play, or #31 Stuart Appleby, if there had been a provision for him to replace Johnson in the Tour Championship field, would have been included in this particular reckoning. |

3 .. The 2014 Tour Championship: Actual results, plus alternative points Three of the pre-tournament top five -- # 1 Kirk, #2 Horschel and #4 McIlroy -- are among the Top Five finishers in the tournament itself, with Horschel emerging as the winner. Because only 29 players competed, the $ 128,000 prize for 30th place was re-distributed among the 4th thru 29th finishers. The 205 "actual" points for 30th was not re-distributed. In "alternative" mode, there would have been a 30th player, most likely pre-tournament #31 Stuart Appleby, in place of the absent #30 Dustin Johnson. As a result, no re-distribution of the 30th place money would have occurred. PURSE: $ 8,000,000 1st Prize: $ 1,440,000 No-Cut Field of 29 29 of 29 finishers |
