In men’s professional golf, it’s expected that prize money payouts will keep increasing. The real question is by how much. This year, the PGA of America answered that by boosting the PGA Championship purse by $1 million, bringing it to a record $18.5 million.
Xander Schauffele captured the championship on Sunday at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, shooting a final-round 65 and taking home $3.33 million.
To put this in perspective, the total purse just four years ago at TPC Harding Park was $11 million. Since then, the PGA of America has consistently increased the prize money: by $1 million for the 2021 PGA at Kiawah, by $3 million for the 2022 PGA at Southern Hills, and by another $2.5 million for the 2023 PGA at Oak Hill.
The 2024 PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club featured a record total purse of $18.5 million, with payouts structured to reward players at various levels of the leaderboard.
