Jordan Spieth, as the defending FedEx Cup champion (and face of the tour), is on a New York media blitz, promoting the PGA Tour’s playoff series and thanking FedEx for his $10,000,0000 bonus check (which is actually some sort of combination of cash/retirement account/annuity).
First Spieth showed up at the Empire State Building to light up the iconic tower in the colors that signify the brand that pays the bonus checks for the playoffs.
