That was a great afternoon of gold, way better than any NFL game could offer.
And not really, it was not really a $7 mil showdown between Rory and Moore which added to the drama. In effect it was two showdowns:
A $750k showdown between Rory and Moore. Winner took home $1.5 mil for winning, runner up tool home $750k as a second/third place split.
It was also a $10 mil showdown between Rory and Dustin Johnson despite him not winning. This was the FedEx Cup championship payout for the winner of the playoffs. Rory needed to win the tournament to win the playoffs, had Moore won the tournament then Dustin would have been the playoff champion.
