How much prize money does Xander Schauffele get after winning the 2024 PGA Championship?

It took all weekend, and all of Sunday to crown a winner of the first major of the PGA Tour schedule. On the final shot of the tournament, Xander Schauffele secured his first major with a birdie on the 18th hole edging out Bryson DeChambeau and the rest of the field with a final-round 66. Not only will he take home the Wannamaker Trophy, but he will also take a handsome back to Southern California.

Kentucky’s Valhalla Golf Club was the latest stunning venue of the famous tournament, the second major of the calendar year, with the Jack Nicklaus-designed course recognized as one of America’s 100 greatest courses. It has previously hosted three PGA Championships, two Senior PGA Championships, and the 2008 Ryder Cup.

A record-breaking opening, a tragic human loss, and a high-profile arrest are just some of the stories in the last few days, as fans now follow the action on the course to its conclusion, and the financial rewards that come with the prestige.

Last year’s prize money was $17.5 million, of which $3.15 million went to winner Brooks Koepka, along with the Wanamaker Trophy. That was a total increase of $2.5 million over the previous year and we have seen a similar increase this year.

The PGA of America announced the official total purse late on Saturday, an increase of one million takes it to $18,500,000. The 2024 Masters saw a total purse of $20m and the winner of that competition, Scottie Scheffler, pocketed $3.6 million. Sunday’s PGA champion in Kentucky will take home $3,330,000.
