2016 Dean & DeLuca Invitational Prize Money Breakdown
The Total Payout
There is money to be made at Colonial. The Dean & DeLuca Invitational boasts a total purse of $6.7 million, with a hefty $1.206 million of that pot going to the eventual winner. That’s great news for this year’s competitors considering the total payout last year amounted to only $6.5 million.
To put into perspective the difference in prize money, defending champion Chris Kirk earned $1.17 million in cash last year. That’s $36,000 less than the amount the Dean & DeLuca champion will receive this year. Finishing second in this event ain’t bad either with the runner-up receiving a payout of $723,600. On the other end of the leaderboard, the 70th or so golfer to make the cut this week will earn around $13,400.
