History and a raised $15 million purse are on the line at the 104th PGA Championship at Southern Hills this weekend. With $2.7 million, those who find themselves near the top of the leaderboard by tournament’s end will not go home empty handed even if it means doing so without the Wanamaker Trophy.
Players who finish inside the top 28 will collect a six-figure payday thus easing the pain of any potential close call at the year’s second major championship. Despite the large prize pool, it is hardly the most notable of the season as the Players Championship boasted a record-setting $20 million fund and the Masters also increased its purse to $15 million.
Cameron Smith banked $3.6 million for his victory at TPC Sawgrass with Scottie Scheffler cashing a $2.7 million check for his triumph at Augusta National. As such, Sunday’s winner in Tulsa, Oklahoma, will match Scheffler with the second-biggest winner’s share of the year.
Let’s take a look at how much the payouts for the 2022 PGA Championship will be divided among the top 79 players who made the cut, and be sure to check out our PGA Championship TV schedule and live stream guide.
