1. bonus

   A subsidy is pecuniary aid directly granted by government to an individual or commercial enterprise, or money furnished by one nation to another to aid it in carrying on war against a common enemy. A nation grants a subsidy to an ally, pays a tribute to a conqueror. An indemnity is in the nature of things limited and temporary, while a tribute might be exacted indefinitely. A nation may also grant a subsidy to its own citizens as a means of promoting the public welfare; as, a subsidy to a steamship company. The somewhat rare term subvention is especially applied to a grant of governmental aid to a literary or artistic enterprise. Governmental aid to a commercial or industrial enterprise other than a transportation company is more frequently called a bounty than a subsidy; as, the sugar bounty. The word bounty may be applied to almost any regular or stipulated allowance by a government to a citizen or citizens; as, a bounty for enlisting in the army; a bounty for killing wolves. A bounty is offered for something to be done; a pension is granted for something that has been done.

   Synonyms:
   aid, allowance, bounty, gift, grant, indemnity, pension, premium, reward, subsidy, subvention, support, tribute

1. Jon Rahm:

   I didn’t know that I had won the money list and I didn’t know that I’m the first Spanish player to achieve that. But I’m very proud of it, it has been a very weird season, with many majors, many players playing very well. However, I don't know if it really matters when this week we play for what we play, the bonus of the FedEx Cup. I think in these days of the FedEx Cup, maybe the money list is less important than years before.

2. Gary Woodland:

   That was just a bonus, hit a beautiful drive. I was in the divot, a pretty deep divot. We were a little indecisive what we were going to do. We tried to take a little less club and hit it hard and play out to the safe to the right, and it was nice to knock it in.

4. Bob Caldwell:

   This is probably the best Father's Day gift that you can have, i get to spend time with people that I've grown to respect and enjoy and I get to spend time with my son-in-law and sometimes my son. Concerts are just an added bonus quite frankly at this point. I love music. I can't sing and can't dance but I love music.

5. Matt Schulz:

   New customers tend to get better deals than long-time customers. That's why you have so many people playing the sign-up bonus game, closing after a year or two.
