There is money to be made at Congressional. The Quicken Loans National boasts a total purse of $6.9 million, with a hefty $1.242 million of that prize going to the eventual winner. That’s excellent news for the field considering the total payout last year amounted to only $6.7 million.
To put into perspective the difference in prize money, defending champion Troy Merritt earned $1.206 million in this golf event last year. That’s $36,000 less than the amount the Quicken Loans champion will receive this year. Finishing second in this tournament ain’t bad either with the runner-up receiving a cash payout of $745,200. On the other end of the table, the 70th or so golfer to make the cut this week will earn around $13,800.
